What drew you to work at ICP?

Before ICP I was a successful independent contractor, so it was a calculated decision to join. I did so because of their reputation of excellence, dedication to their clients and focus on giving back to the community. Having experienced the predatory "get in and get them to be dependent on you" strategy of mega-agencies, I knew I wanted to be part of something different.

What do you enjoy most about the work you do at ICP?

ICP puts their people first and in turn the people put their clients first, looking to solve problems, even if this means working themselves out of a job. I am constantly amazed at the caliber of talent at ICP.
