How We Build Relationships

Connection

Connection is an inside job and happens when people approach each other open-heartedly, willing to pursue a common goal together. That goal can be as small as deciding where to eat or as important as finding a solution to a challenge. We connect with you to get on the same page, catch your vision, and help you build it.

Communication

Communication is more than conversation. Good communication brings understanding and is the key when working with…anyone! Communication must be honest, kind, and direct. And it must happen often. Whether we’re managing a campaign, a company, or a presentation, communicating is at the center. At Fortibus, we communicate often with an open heart to each other internally and with you, our client.

Participation

Participation is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re the client, the team lead, or a social media manager, everyone must engage. We focus on including our clients every step of the way. We come alongside you as a partner, not as a third-party who is disconnected from the bigger picture. We participate on whatever level is required and we expect our clients to do the same.

Trust

Trust can be defined as “unseen, unspoken confidence.” We trust and have confidence in our team giving their very best to each other and our clients. We work hard to earn and maintain your trust as well. This only happens when each person accepts personal responsibility for the part they play. As a result, this trust builds a safe environment to bring new ideas to the table and stimulate growth.
