Teamwork makes the dream work

Jess 25.06.25

You don’t survive for 25 years in this business without a solid foundation, a solid philosophy, a solid culture, and a compelling vision for the future.

All companies have their values, their code of ethics, their ways of doing things. It adds up to a company culture or personality. And invariably team members do well if they work in companies with similar ethics and values to themselves. When this is out of alignment things just don’t gel.

Likewise, clients gravitate toward companies with similar beliefs and standards. It makes for a better experience to work with like-minded people.

So, what is Studio 55 like to work with?

Well, we operate according to an unwritten code. It isn’t something we invented, it’s just who we are. Our DNA in a way. There are 6 non-negotiable facets to our service.

Number 1

I’ve heard it said that many companies are either creative OR easy to work with, but few are both.

OUR brand personality is one of innovation, excitement and energy, underpinned with reliability, flexibility and the ability to work within the constraints of commercial reality.

Number 2

we operate with integrity. People use us because they can trust us. To us, trust is everything. We don’t compromise on that. Ever!

Number 3

Our next unwritten rule is that we always do more that we are paid for. Which goes back to our belief that it is not about what we can get but what we can give. We’re here to bring value to the marketplace.

Number 4

We believe a high level of client service is imperative. This means consistently delivering on all levels, firing on all cylinders at all times.

And number 5

We don’t hide behind smoke and mirrors. We don’t get lost in useless processes and systems. We don’t create extra work for ourselves or our clients. We believe in simplicity. We believe in transparency.

We operate without confusion, without the clutter. We get rid of the noise, we boil everything down to the bare bones, and we operate with everything we need and nothing we don’t. It is congruent with who we are. It makes life easy.

And last but not least, we are visible, accountable and contactable. We don’t believe in automation. We are real people living and working in Brisbane. There are no call centres, no 1800 numbers, no info@ emails, and no nameless faceless staff.

What about off your face staff?

Lots of them. And no exit strategy.

I have an exit strategy – every Friday afternoon I exit, straight to the pub.

Which is why we love you.

So there it is. There are real people at Studio 55 with decades of combined experience, producing countless projects and a collection of mad skills all going into taking your data, content and ideas and transforming them into something amazing that will really resonate with your market.
