Empathy
Originality
Commitment

Acceptance: When we listen to people's ideas, we don't take into account their age, gender, or background. We focus on the "content" of the ideas. Rather than being Defensive or closed-off, we listen with an open mind.

Diversity: The content industry is growing at an exponential rate, with little regard for time, space, or platform. Decisions taken by one organization have an impact on other organizations, and issues in one region might become massive issues in an other. In the process of creating results, we must think about various perspectives and values from multiple angles.

Flexibility: Although we may face difficulties as a result of rapid changes and unforeseen issues, the most essential thing is to find a solution with alacrity. We must have the flexible thinking to adjust our course and the resilience to bounce back.

Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a necessary characteristic for those who generate cultural trends. Our senses must be alert in order to detect trends and issues, and also comprehend the market's potential demands.

Curiosity: Major potentials always begin with a modest curiosity. Even if it is not part of our work description, we must develop the habit of taking an interest and a fostering sense of curiosity that extends beyond diverse disciplines around the business and market.

Insight: We cultivate the ability to connect and integrate disparate pieces of information and variables in order to discover something new. We see things from wide range of perspectives deviating from one set of viewpoint and generate our own thoughts instead of being confined to conventional thinking.

Differentiation: This does not simply mean that we are different from others. It means that we will continue to hone our skills and ability to provide remarkable, standout results from start to finish in what we do.

Charm: We have our own aura that cannot be easily replicated. This aura is formed by a combination of "attitude" that creates a positive impression and "competence" that produces the results desired by the market.

Initiative: We are fully conscious of our responsibilities and consider "Why, What, and How". We actively seek the information or knowledge we require to attain our objectives and deliver results with a sense of responsibility.

Autonomy: The efficiency of one's work is proportionate to one's autonomy. We become immersed in our work after finding intrinsic drive for it. Nonetheless, we work together willingly and with a sense of duty to attain a common goal.

Challenge: We take on new challenges with enthusiasm and the conviction that our efforts will set the standard for the industry. Whatever the outcome, we see it as an opportunity for progress to move forward.

Growth: Our employees' growth is key to the company's growth. Instead of being content with the status quo, we ceaselessly participate in opportunities for improvement. Sharing honest feedback with our coworkers is often a great opportunity to make a progress.
