Keeping a social, healthy, and connected culture in a remote environment can be difficult, but we’ve been lucky to think of ways to work around these challenges and harness a positive environment with thriving work relationships.
How is this possible?
One of the many ways we encourage a healthy culture is by implementing six key Core Values at Intrinsic Digital that guide our interactions with one another and with our clients: Accountability, Authenticity, Caring, Surprise & Delight, X-Ray Vision, and Neutralevity.
Each month, we have our team members anonymously nominate their colleagues who represented these Core Values and award a small token to the winners.
Last month, we recognized our teammates who embodied Authenticity. This month, we turn our focus to Caring — a value that strengthens connection, support, and genuine teamwork across our remote environment.
We set the expectation for Caring to mean:
“We show compassion, kindness, and genuine care for others. We support our teammates, listen actively, and invest in the well-being and success of the people around us.”
Our winner for “Caring” is Phil Sewall!
We’re beyond excited to celebrate Phil as the recipient of this month’s Core Value Award! Phil may be our CMO, but he’s never been one to stay removed from the day-to-day. Instead, he rolls up his sleeves, dives into projects alongside the team, and consistently shows how deeply he cares about the work we do and the people who do it. Phil’s leadership style is rooted in empathy, support, and genuine thoughtfulness — qualities that make him not just an executive, but a teammate who inspires trust, collaboration, and confidence.
Congratulations, Phil! Thank you for showing us that caring leadership isn’t about hierarchy — it’s about presence, support, and investing in people.
See what Phil’s teammates had to say:
“Phil is CMO but truly dives in and gets his hands dirty with every project. He genuinely cares about the work and his employees. We appreciate you, Phil!”
Phil shows he cares in how he always makes time for those under his leadership, even when he's got a full plate himself. He looks to remove obstacles and gently listens and supports and always makes it "okay" to put family first.
Next up
Our next Core Value is Neutralevity — the balance between staying calm under pressure and bringing a light-hearted, positive energy to our work. Curious who embodies it next? Stay tuned to find out!
