What we believe in

No Jerks

We value fairness, respect and honesty. This applies to not only our staff but our clients too. Being clear and kind to each other gets better results, plus everyone enjoys themselves on the way.

Be Better

Nothing changes as fast as the digital landscape, and this provides the perfect environment to keep adapting and improving. Our ongoing aim is to be even better in 12 months' time.

Take Ownership

There’s no place for shirkers with Rocket. The people we love to work with are the self-starters: those who take ownership of their work, look for ways to help their colleagues and proactively deliver value to their clients and Rocket.

Do What's Right

What's right isn't the same as what's easy. Speak up and be direct, honest and brave. Our job is not to blindly say 'yes' or to stay quiet when we don't agree. Our job is to say and do what's right.
