At Red Dog Media, our Core Values are the foundation of everything we do and the decisions we make, and this Core Value is all about setting high standards, embracing accountability, and building a culture rooted in support and collaboration.
Being a Championship Teammate means far more than just being a “team player.” It’s about showing up with energy, owning your role, and uplifting those around you.
Core Values: Why Championship Teammates Matter at Red Dog Media
Team success isn’t just built on individual wins. Instead, it’s driven by the collective effort, trust, and shared commitment of every teammate. As a result, we’re able to tackle complex challenges and hit ambitious goals.
Championship teammates don’t just perform well; they inspire others to rise to the occasion. More importantly, this mindset helps us maintain a high-performing culture that sets Red Dog Media apart from the competition.
By pushing each other to grow and aligning on shared goals, we consistently achieve more together than we ever could alone. Championship teammates are coachable, dependable, and always ready to step up. In short, they help create the kind of team everyone wants to be a part of.
Championship Teammates in Action
Here are two standout examples of Red Dog Media teammates living this Core Value, both recognized through our Core Value Chip program:
Heather has played a key role in bringing teammates closer through social and team-building events. From organizing company outings like baseball games and paint nights to coordinating smaller gatherings like team bowling, Heather helps create space for teammates to bond. Because of her efforts, our environment feels more unified, engaged, and connected.
Chad demonstrates this value daily by balancing his roles as Head of Experimentation and Project Manager. He manages the A/B testing funnel while ensuring winning tests are implemented efficiently. His dedication to both his team and company goals reflects the ownership and accountability of a true Championship Teammate.
Programs That Foster Relationships for Championship Teams
At Red Dog Media, we believe in creating space for connection, collaboration, and shared success. These programs are designed to reinforce our Core Values and build strong teams:
Team Time
Teammates can receive up to $200/month to enjoy time together outside of work. Whether it’s dinner, a movie, or another fun outing, these shared moments build deeper connections beyond the office.
Team-Building Retreat
This year’s retreat at Lake Las Vegas took team bonding to the next level. Over two days, we mixed business and fun in the sun. Events like these strengthen relationships and align us around shared goals.
Company Parties and Social Hours
Twice a year, we host company-wide celebrations. In addition, our quarterly social hours offer a chance to unwind, share stories, and enjoy food and drinks together.
Team Competitions
From our annual March Madness bracket to other office challenges, friendly competition is part of our culture. These events fuel camaraderie, spark creativity, and bring out our best.
Final Thoughts
Being a Championship Teammate isn’t just about doing your job—it’s about going above and beyond for the team. Whether it’s Heather building stronger bonds through shared experiences or Chad driving experimentation with precision and focus, our teammates lift each other up every day.
From retreats to competitions, we create a culture where teamwork thrives. Because when we support one another, we all win.
