"Empathy, communication, and simply caring about the work we do and why we do it. One mantra we have is “best efforts” — have you given your best efforts to complete something?

"In my previous job, I was a client of Applecart and I often recommended that my clients use Applecart audiences! Applecart was often a key part of our media plans. I thought the product and people I got to work with were super impressive, and joined the team in 2022."

There is no better feeling than knowing you have connected the right consultant to the right client challenge to ensure a successful outcome for both parties."

"One of my favorite events that Brigit has is employee-run quarterly breakfasts. The staff running the breakfast attempt do their best in impersonating a New York deli - making breakfast sandwiches on griddles and pourover coffee to order. We also try to encourage a no meeting and laptop policy during the breakfast hour to spend some quality time."
