Culture

HERE, WHERE?

Where is “here” now, anyway? While many of us are in San Diego, working from home or popping by the office, Traina is made up of people from coast to coast: from Idaho to Atlanta, the shores of Maine to the beaches of Charleston.

Being a part of Traina is less about place and more about purpose. Wherever we are, we bring it all: our ideas, our goodwill and cooperation, our drive to move people and move brands and thereby make a difference in the world around us.

If you want to make an impact in your creative work, so do we. Wherever you are, you’ll like it “here” at Traina.

creators

Together from anywhere

We complement the freedom to work from anywhere with the cultivation of team spirit and togetherness:

  • Frequent in-person and virtual get-togethers, hosted by our Happiness Committee.
  • Our regular Traina Trivia series fosters creativity and camaraderie.
  • Positive and proactive work/life balance with weekly check-ins.

People-first policy

Our agency policies are guided by an even bigger policy—that people come first, and health and happiness is true success:

  • Quarterly profit-sharing and company 401K match.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision and life insurance benefits.
  • Parental leave programs to welcome new family members.
  • Summer Fridays—our day ends at 2 p.m. to make the most of the weekend.

Community and diversity

We are committed to making positive change that contributes to equity and diversity within our agency and our industry:

  • Consistent pro bono work with non-profit clients who make an impact.
  • Regularly-sponsored volunteer days throughout the year.
  • Internship program with regional community colleges.
  • Time off to be involved with outside creative organizations.

How we move

We’re all about producing work that moves people, so we’re mindful of what moves us, too—professionally, personally and creatively:

  • Professional encouragement through mentorship and personalized growth plans.
  • Funding for conference and workshop attendance, including travel.
  • Generous PTO program and paid holidays, along with an annual in-person Vision Day at our San Diego office.
