Whether it was fate or coincidence, when we opened our first official office, a pair of golden griffin statues guarded the entrance. From that point on, we were Griffins. Not saying we’re all half lion, half eagle, but we do share a few values with the mythical beasts.
We lead with our hearts
We approach everything we do with the heart of a lion. And that level of passion is contagious. It guides how we approach our work, our clients and each other.
We are resilient
If the griffin has taught us anything in the last 4000 years, it’s the staying power of a great idea.
It’s why we relentlessly pursue ideas that live on in the hearts and minds of consumers.
We create meaningful change
Griffins were noble beasts charged with guarding treasure. We too are guardians of treasure: the ability to influence how people think and feel. And we always use that power for good.
Griffin of the Year
2025 Winner: Bryce MikkelsonVP, Group Strategy Director
Awarded at our yearly summer party, this award honors the Griffin who has most embodied our core values. But it’s not all award and no meat. It also comes with a free vacation.
Griffins Recognizing Griffins
Every month, our last recipient chooses the next one. Then their coworkers write a bunch of really nice things about them, because who doesn’t like hearing how much everyone loves them?
