You are true professionals, always calm under pressure, and I appreciate all the ways you flexed and accommodated our every request (with a smile). It means an enormous amount to be able to trust our production partners implicitly and I feel that way about you.

Our Values
EMBRACE & INITIATE CHANGE
Embrace the opportunity to perform at a high level under uncertain conditions. Comfort in the face of change provides opportunities to improve processes and approaches with clients, vendors, and ourselves.
Teamwork
No department’s work is more valuable or essential than any other department. Employees seek opportunities to elevate their coworkers in a way that benefits the company as a whole.
CREATIVITY
A creative mindset is at the heart of everything we do. Employees seek novel ways to streamline operations, present ideas, and exceed client expectations.
COMMITMENT TO IMPROVEMENT
Centrifuge Media values continuing education. We seek new experiences and perspectives from a variety of sources and internalize them to create client value.
Diversity & Inclusion
Centrifuge Media is a global organization that understands that a diverse and inclusive workforce is an asset to any organization. Wherever we operate, we strive to create an inclusive culture in which differences are recognized, valued, and celebrated. By building a community of people with varied backgrounds, experience and perspectives, we believe that, as a collective, we are stronger and better equipped to be successful in every endeavor. The creativity and innovation that comes from diversity of thought and inclusion of perspectives is essential to achieving our mission.
What Diversity and Inclusion Means for Centrifuge Media
• Recognizing and embracing workforce diversity – creating an inclusive culture for all regardless of race, gender, national or ethnic origin, culture, language, age, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, political beliefs, as well as any other distinct differences between people.
• Sustaining a welcoming organization – creating and sustaining an environment that provides space and opportunities for staff to bring their whole selves to work. Fostering a culture of open-mindedness, compassion and inclusiveness among individuals and groups.
• Valuing diversity of perspective – enriching the company by leveraging the diverse views, skills and experience of our employees. Where all individuals have a voice and are encouraged to contribute.
• Respecting stakeholder diversity – ensuring we respect the diverse communities and varied stakeholders with whom we work, including employees, contractors, governments, partners, clients and our Board.
Words and exhortations alone will not accomplish these results. Through dedicated energy, effort and learning, deliberate interventions and interactions, and a deep and abiding respect for one another, we can become the diverse and vibrant organization we aspire to be.
