Life at The Forge

“Growth is not a word we take for granted at Blacksmith; it’s part of our culture. Around here, mentorship is casual, feedback is thoughtful, and collaboration happens in every direction.

Fabianna Lopez

“Quality isn’t something that comes at the end. At Blacksmith, it’s part of everything we do, from the work we create to the team that brings it to life. We care about what we do and who we do it for.”

Our Values

icon 01 white

Be Hungry

We measure success through output, not intent. Being hungry means holding ourselves and our teammates to KPIs that drive the business and our clients forward. In a fully remote world, we believe that no company can thrive if it doesn’t hold its people to clear performance standards. For Blacksmith, this means showing up with energy every morning and driving toward goals that matter to the team, not just the individual.

Stay Humble

Vulnerability, honest reflection, and recognition of others are critical to strong teams. Humility means owning mistakes, learning from them, and celebrating the contributions of those around us.

Aim Smart (People Smart)

At BSA, People Smart means knowing how to collaborate, communicate, and align with business goals without losing sight of the human side. It’s about empathizing with our peers and adapting our communication to the sensitivities of a multicultural team of creatives and clients.
