Culture

Launch changes, challenges, and charges ahead because of the people who work here. Explorers, makers, athletes, thinkers, coaches—everyone at Launch is someone who wants to go farther, move faster, discover what’s possible, and champion each other to go one step beyond that. That’s why we call ourselves Navigators.

Company culture can’t be dictated—it has to come from the people who work here.

“Company culture is the product of a company’s values, expectations, and environment.”  
– Courtney Chapman, Executive Business Partner, Google

Brand Personality

Launch is home to the makers of the now and next. We live in an amazing time for innovation, and it’s exciting to be a part of the boldest changes happening across industries.

But we don’t buy into the mysticism of consulting. We’re not about buzzwords and jargon and hoping that our big fancy words impress and intimidate customers into believing we know what we’re doing.

We just talk to people.

That’s how we do everything: approachable, straightforward, helpful, and fun. We approach customer conversations like they’re dinner-table conversations at home. We’re high-powered, but humble. We’re competitive, but never against each other. We’re professional, but we’re colorful.

Accessibility and Inclusion

Launch’s reason for existing is to positively impact people—embracing diversity, standing up for each other, and enhancing the human experience through tech. That means Launch is, by definition, an inclusive organization.

Accessibility is the practice of making information, activities, and environments meaningful and usable for as many people as possible. Over the past couple of years, rapid digitization has been a huge help for people with disabilities and differences, but we need to be mindful of accessibility and inclusivity in every communication.

Thinking Globally

When speaking to a diverse audience, be thoughtful in your phrasing. Idioms, metaphors, and colloquialisms you use in daily life may be unfamiliar to people of a different background. Launch’s voice is direct and plainspoken, so channel that in your communications and be descriptive and forthright in your message.

The more global Launch gets, the more time zones we work between. When scheduling meetings or referring to events, make a point to include your time zone to avoid confusion or scheduling during someone’s off hours.

Finally, be mindful of global holidays when scheduling important meetings. Avoid scheduling events on holidays such as Rosh Hashanah, Eid, various Independence Days, Lunar New Year, and other occasions that our colleagues generally take time off to observe.
