At Red Dog Media, we believe in constant improvement. Our Be Better Than Yesterday core value is all about pushing ourselves to grow, learn, and innovate every day. No matter how well we perform today, we know there’s always room to get even better tomorrow. We encourage our teammates to embrace challenges, find ways to streamline processes, and never settle for “good enough.”
Why Being Better Than Yesterday Drives Red Dog Media’s Success
This mindset fuels long-term success by building a culture of innovation and adaptability. In our fast-paced industry, staying ahead means never resting on past accomplishments. By continuously pushing ourselves to improve, we keep Red Dog Media competitive, agile, and responsive to the needs of our clients. When each of us focuses on getting a little better every day, those small gains add up to big wins across the organization.
At Red Dog Media, we embrace a growth mindset—where challenges are opportunities, feedback is valued, and everyone is encouraged to own their personal and professional development. Be Better Than Yesterday is woven into everything we do, driving how we work, learn, and grow.
Teammates Who Embody Be Better Than Yesterday
Here are two teammates recognized through our Core Value Chip Program for their commitment to continuous improvement:
In his very first week, Justin was assigned a small task to get familiar with our code and settings. But instead of just completing it, he went a step further. He used ChatGPT to generate a code snippet that automated this settings update for the future. His forward-thinking mindset didn’t just solve the immediate task—it made things more efficient for the team going forward. That’s what Be Better Than Yesterday is all about: always thinking ahead and improving processes.
Aaron recently showed how to Be Better Than Yesterday by identifying ways to improve our workflows. He recently found a small but powerful tweak for one of our Azure DevOps queries, enhancing the team’s efficiency. Even with a full workload, Aaron always looks for ways to improve things. His proactive approach and attention to detail perfectly reflect the essence of this value—finding improvement opportunities, no matter how small.
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.
