Here’s our manifesto, shaped by years of experience and success, which we now share with you to guide and inspire your journey!
Our Manifesto
Level 5 Leadership: It’s About Us, Not Me
At WePix Digital Media, our focus is on building a lasting impact within the fashion industry, rather than seeking personal accolades. Leadership is a collective endeavor where we uplift each other, inspire growth, and foster trust within our team and with our clients. We celebrate our successes together, maintaining humility while making decisions that benefit the entire team and our clients.
Confront Brutal Facts Habitually
We lead with questions and a deep understanding of the fashion market, relying on data rather than assumptions. Open debates drive our decisions, and when mistakes occur, we conduct thorough analyses instead of assigning blame. Our red flag system ensures that those not aligned with our standards are identified and addressed.
Singular Focus
We dedicate ourselves to what we are passionate about:
-
Empowering fashion entrepreneurs to thrive globally.
-
Streamlining their businesses for greater efficiency.
-
Enhancing profitability through strategic marketing.
We commit only to what drives our economic engine:
-
Generating leads.
-
Converting prospects into clients.
-
Closing deals that matter.
Compounding Effect
Our growth strategy is simple yet powerful: generate leads, nurture relationships, close deals, and improve with every step. We continuously seek feedback, refine our processes, and build momentum through consistent effort and incremental improvement.
Fanatic Discipline
Regardless of external factors, we are committed to a minimum growth rate of 20% per year. This standard keeps us resilient and focused, ensuring we stay on track towards our long-term goals while achieving short-term successes.
Test Aggressively
We make calculated, low-risk investments in innovative ideas, testing them thoroughly before scaling up the winners. This approach allows us to stay agile and ahead of the curve in the fast-paced fashion industry.
Productive Paranoia
We remain vigilant by categorizing risks into:
-
Death-line risks: Potential threats to our business.
-
Asymmetric risks: Scenarios where the downside outweighs the upside.
-
Uncontrollable risks: External factors beyond our control.
We constantly reassess our strategies, zooming in and out to make informed adjustments as needed.
Specific, Methodical, and Consistent
We stick to our proven strategies, making only minor adjustments over time to ensure long-term success. Like the industry leaders we admire, we introduce innovations only after they’ve been thoroughly validated in the market.
Maximizing Per-Share Value
Our financial strategy focuses on high-return investments, ensuring that every decision we make contributes to maximizing cash flow and shareholder returns. We prioritize activities that offer a minimum of 20% return on investment after taxes.
Institution Over Product
WePix is committed to building a robust institution capable of continuously delivering exceptional services, rather than relying on any single product or service.
Home-Grown Management
We invest in our team, developing internal talent to ensure the company’s growth and longevity. This approach allows us to maintain a consistent culture and standard of excellence.
Good Enough Never Is
While we have long-term goals, we also achieve outstanding short-term results. We recognize that today’s achievements are the result of yesterday’s efforts, and we strive to outdo ourselves and our competitors each year.
Over-Communicate Clarity
We serve as each other’s Chief Reminding Officers, ensuring that everyone remains aligned with our goals. We regularly revisit our objectives until they are fully realized.
Bias for Action
We believe in action over hesitation. At WePix, the burden of proof lies on those who argue that an idea won’t work, not on those who believe it will. We do not hold meetings without a clear action plan.
Close to the Customer
Our obsession with quality and customer service drives us to treat each client like a VIP. We imagine each interaction as if we are hosting an exclusive event, ensuring that every client feels valued and heard.
Autonomy and Entrepreneurship
We encourage innovation by empowering individuals to champion new ideas, supported by senior management. WePix embraces well-intentioned failures as stepping stones to success.
Proud but Never Satisfied
We take pride in our past successes but understand that entitlement has no place at WePix. We continuously strive to understand the market, respond to changes, and improve our services.
Saying Goodbye
Performance issues are handled transparently, with ample time given for improvement. We maintain respect and dignity in all personnel decisions, ensuring no one is humiliated.
No Room for Culture-F**kers
Integrity, intelligence, maturity, and cultural fit are non-negotiable at WePix. We seek team members who value results, authenticity, and resilience, and who surround themselves with smart, innovative individuals.
What to Do When Things Go Wrong?
In tough times, we refocus on the disciplines that have made us successful, accumulating small wins to restore momentum. Our core values guide us through challenges, ensuring we survive and thrive.
Competition is for Losers
WePix aims to be the best, playing the long-term game by focusing on continuous improvement and outdoing our past performance. Our competition is ourselves.
