Ambitious company and great place to work - Anonymous employee Acrylicize Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While critical feedback is never easy to receive, we value honest input and listen with openness, especially when it challenges us to do better. We're glad you recognised strengths in our visual brand, client relationships, and team energy. At the same time, we take your concerns seriously, particularly around leadership support, inclusivity, and the studio environment. At Acrylicize, we’ve always aimed to balance creativity, community, and commercial success. However, we recognise that good intentions don’t always align with lived experience. Your feedback reminds us of the ongoing work needed to ensure inclusivity is not just spoken about but embedded in our culture and leadership. While I acknowledge my own limitations as a white male business owner, I’d highlight that our US Studio, Global Creative, Operations, and Finance teams are all led by women from diverse backgrounds - who sit on our wider board and shape business decisions monthly. These perspectives also feed into our B Corp meetings, where we collectively shape initiatives and culture. Navigating the tension between brand-led work and artistic innovation has always been part of our mission. We founded Acrylicize to challenge the traditional art world's exclusivity and to democratise creativity in real-world environments. That mission continues to drive us across nearly 70 global projects at any one time. We're proud of the organisations we collaborate with, many of whom deeply value their people and culture. I encourage you to explore our work and hear from our partners directly. We've always turned down projects that didn’t align with our values, and I stand behind the integrity of the relationships and work we’ve built. We recognise the importance of personal creativity too, that’s why we offer all employees monthly paid time off to pursue artistic interests beyond client work, regardless of role. Your comments on working styles and culture are also noted. As we continue refining our hybrid model, we're learning how to balance flexibility with the collaborative energy that drives creative excellence. Our studio space, designed to support varied working styles, reflects this commitment to shared growth and mentorship. Thank you again for your honesty. While we may not agree with every point, your feedback has been shared with our leadership team and will inform our continued growth. We remain committed to living our values through meaningful action. Wishing you all the best in your future creative pursuits.
