How We Built an Award-Winning Culture.
At LaunchSquad we believe in 3 things: Great people, great work and great connection. Plus an emphasis on the importance of work boundaries, flexibility, and well-being. And it's working. We’ve won several awards for our team’s outstanding work – we recently received honorable mention at PRWeek’s 2022 Healthcare & Pharma Communications Awards and won several Bulldog PR Awards for multiple clients. In addition, we’re also frequently recognized as a great place to work, including the San Francisco Chronicle Top Places to Work and New York Schneps Media’s Top Places to Work awards.
Coincidence? Think again. These awards are small snapshots in the bigger picture that is LaunchSquad’s culture. One that’s built by and for smart, thoughtful people doing great work for each other and our clients.?
Culture is important to us at LaunchSquad, and everything we do is built from three key pillars:
Our culture is built on a clear set of company values. We’re all about teamwork, acknowledgement, showing kindness, setting a high bar for our work, communicating openly and creating an environment that supports creativity and innovation. And our team members use these values every day.?Often, setting a high bar for success can mean skill and talent are valued over emotional intelligence and empathy. But that won't fly at LaunchSquad. Through open dialogue, public celebration for successes, compassion and team support, we show up for each other knowing that we all want the best for each other.?

One of our key differentiators is a laser-focus on belonging, which includes how we think about the LaunchSquad experience for each and every team member. We value authenticity and the diverse perspectives of our team members from their varied cultural, geographic and career experiences. That’s why we maintain multiple touch-points (individual, mentor/mentee relationships, company-wide meetings, etc.) to ensure that team members feel seen, heard and valued while creating clear professional growth and development paths. LaunchSquad is a place that people come to so they can build their career in storytelling — but they stay for the people and our one-of-a-kind culture.
At LaunchSquad, we understand that work is only a slice of our team members' larger lives. With that in mind, we’ve revamped the way we work so that it honors individual needs while maintaining the caliber of results that our clients deserve. We’re a virtual-first company; creating opportunities for flexibility and a web of connectivity around the world.?To us, virtual-first means our people can do great work from anywhere. We have office hubs across the country for collaboration and relationship-building. About a third of our team works remotely full-time. We regularly bring our people together to spark joy and create long-lasting, career-spanning bonds.
We’re also reframing our workweek, working to minimize meetings and create intentional down time, which allows our teams to focus on deep work. We believe that when you’re on, you’re on – and being off means you are OFF. This refreshed approach puts our team’s well-being first, helping to maintain a healthy work/life balance – a key element to fighting burnout and retaining teammates.?
With these building blocks, LaunchSquad has built a virtual-first, people-centric culture filled with successful teams doing stellar work for change-the-world companies. Creating an award-winning culture takes commitment and careful consideration, but for us, the results speak for themselves and we are proud to do the heavy lifting to ensure our teams are supported, respected, and happy.?
