Core Values Spotlight: Be Better Than Yesterday

At Red Dog Media, we believe that progress is never finished. Our Core Values guide how we work, and Be Better Than Yesterday is a standout. This value challenges us to grow, learn, and improve every single day. No matter how well we perform today, there’s always an opportunity to grow tomorrow.

We encourage our teammates to embrace new challenges, streamline processes, and push beyond “good enough.” Because when we improve ourselves, we improve Red Dog Media as a whole.

Core Values: Why Being Better Than Yesterday Matters

This growth mindset doesn’t just motivate individuals, it powers our success as a team. In a fast-moving industry, standing still means falling behind. Be Better Than Yesterday helps us stay competitive, agile, and responsive to our clients’ evolving needs.

By focusing on incremental improvement, we build a culture of innovation and adaptability. Each teammate’s progress, no matter how small, contributes to larger wins across the organization.

At Red Dog Media, we foster a growth mindset. That means we treat challenges as opportunities. We value feedback. And most importantly, we support personal and professional development at every level.

Teammates Who Embody Be Better Than Yesterday

Here are two teammates recognized through our Core Value Chip Program for their commitment to continuous improvement:

Justin, during his first week, received a simple task to learn our system settings. But instead of stopping there, he used ChatGPT to automate the update. His solution saved time and effort for the entire team. That’s continuous improvement in action—solving today’s problems while paving the way for tomorrow.

Aaron also exemplifies this mindset. He found a minor tweak to improve one of our Azure DevOps queries. That small change made a big difference in team efficiency. Despite a busy schedule, Aaron consistently seeks ways to enhance our workflows. His eye for detail shows how powerful small improvements can be.

Programs That Help Us Be Better Than Yesterday

At Red Dog Media, we’ve built programs designed to support personal and professional growth, ensuring our team has the tools to continuously improve:

Red Dog University

Our growth and development program supports, nurtures, and invests in our people. With training courses, onboarding programs, career pathing tracks, and professional development resources, Red Dog University helps teammates become their best version. Whether you’re learning new skills or deepening your expertise, Red Dog University is all about helping our team be Better Than Yesterday.

Quarterly Health and Wellness Goals

We encourage teammates to prioritize their health by setting a personal wellness goal alongside their work-related objectives each quarter. While this health goal is optional, many teammates have found it helpful to stay on track by holding each other accountable during their weekly Level 10 meetings.

To further motivate teammates to focus on their Health Rock, Red Dog Media offers the option to dedicate 30 minutes of each work day to achieve their wellness goal! Whether it’s a mental health practice like meditation, a fitness routine, or a focus on nutrition, teammates are empowered to make their health a priority.

Final Thoughts

At Red Dog Media, we’re all about the pursuit of continuous improvement. Whether it’s Justin automating processes from day one or Aaron making small but impactful enhancements in his day-to-day, our team is always evolving. With initiatives like Red Dog University and quarterly wellness goals, we’re not just keeping up with change—we’re driving it, becoming Better Than Yesterday every day.
