Extracurricular

Being connected and memorable moments

Outside of the hurly-burly of our digital work we like to come together to celebrate each other’s company, be that scaling mountains, sitting round fires roasting marshmallows or helping a local charity paint their fences. Keeping it human.

The last few years have all involved weekends away scaling mountains and other high peaks, experiencing the wonderful UK outdoors and pushing ourselves mentally and physically. This is about creating shared and memorable experiences.

A longstanding calendar event, where we can bring the team together outside for food, drink and music, often all-night. Bring a sleeping bag. Peel yourself off the floor in the morning for some yoga and warm beer.

Join your teammates for sponsored volunteering days where we help out our local charities with our time and energy with their chores and challenges or just to share some of our knowledge and learnings.

We’re a certified B Corp, so looking after people and the planet is built into how we work, not bolted on. It shapes the projects we take on, the way we run the studio and the choices we make day to day.

Culture

Happy team. Successful team.

Building a culture of creativity, autonomy and responsibility is important to us because we know that a motivated and engaged team will deliver for our clients. We know we don’t always get it right but we try and use the following working principles to guide us in our day to day working life.

Be excellent to each other

You make time to help your colleagues and always try to leave a situation better than you found it. You treat your teammates with respect independent of their status or disagreement with you. You check your ego in at the door. You care deeply about Kyan’s success, and you want your teammates to be successful.

Be a geek

You are curious and hungry for knowledge. You are interested in design & technology and business. You strive for excellence, are responsible for your own learning & immerse yourself in your role. You constantly look to improve your skills and the process at Kyan.

Get shit done

You will always go that extra step to achieve a great result and inspire others in doing so. You keep on going when the going gets tough and you’d rather leave a bit late than leave something in a bad place.
