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.
One of the many ways we encourage a healthy culture is by implementing six key Core Values for Intrinsic Digital that we use as a guiding force in our internal interactions and our business 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 were due to nominate the person in our company who best represented the Core Value: Surprise & Delight.
We set the expectation for Surprise & Delight to mean: "We actively look for opportunities to deliver unexpected value and exceed expectations with everyone we work with."
Our winners for "Surprise & Delight" were Kesha Hinton, Daniel Dizon, and Judy (Jam) Basco!
We’re beyond proud to celebrate Kesha, Daniel, and Jam—three incredible teammates who consistently raise the bar and make our work better, stronger, and more meaningful.
What truly unites these three is their unwavering dedication to the team and the mission. Whether it’s pushing innovation, championing clients, or building bridges across departments, Kesha, Daniel, and Jam lead by example, always with integrity, passion, and purpose. They remind us what it looks like to bring our core values to life, and we’re lucky to work alongside them every day. Their impact is felt far beyond their roles, and we can’t wait to see what they continue to build, inspire, and lead next.

On top of this, Daniel went above and beyond with the all-hands presentation, which captivated the entire company. Daniel always goes the extra mile to ensure a job well done. Surprising us twice in one month deserves some recognition. Way to go, Daniel!
