The team one could only dream of
Kristaps spots what others overlook and does what others wouldn't.
He ruthlessly scraps the irrelevant to highlight what matters, be it a brand strategy or a new way to build business. His approach is careful and considerate, while his radically minimalist strategies sting hard. Especially if you're a competitor to a brand he's working for.

Which came first—advertising or Ainars himself? Nobody knows.
Ever since the start, Ainars has both the ambition and charisma to be constantly surrounded by industry’s sharpest and brightest. For him McCANN is more than a creative agency; it's a runway for talents to push boundaries and achieve the best results imaginable.

Toms is bold and beautiful. By God we try not to be too jealous.
If you cross Sparta and Athens, you get Toms. He is cocky beyond comprehension, eats bravado for breakfast, and slays dragons with his bare hands. In his spare time, he cooks up creative concepts, toys with production, and nails slogans. Yeah, we know.

What came first – cinema or Sintija? That remains a mystery. But one thing is certain – she’s the only one of us to have competed in a film marathon, watching 33 films in 56 hours. It’s easy to talk to Sintija, and easy to fall in love. Charm, friendly eyes, and fluency in French – these are the things that will win anyone over.

When Kristaps first arrived at the office he saw an old scanner laying somewhere and joyfully said “I could make a camera out of it!”. At first it felt like a weird flex, but after a while it all made sense. He is an ever-curious creative innovative specimen. He trains his curiosity like olympians train for gold – obsesively and tirelessly.

Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Ilze makes sure that beauty can be witnessed no matter the beholder. A go-getter that knows what she wants from the design. When the job is done she turns to her passion of cookery and teaching new tricks to her pet indoor plants. No wonder that the whole design team chose her as their leader.

Romāns has seen the highest mountain in the world. It might seem like a random fact, but when you get to know his ambitions it all comes together. They’re both Everest. Always polite, loaded with generational insights and loves pizza. Seriously, if you think about bribing him, stack up on pizza, you’ll thank me later.

Linda is quite possibly the brightest person in the entire world. Literally. Her clothing and accessories always catch everyone’s eye, just like her vibrant designs and illustrations.

Our beloved e-boy Edgars has a degree in fashion from the good taste university. And that’s a fact. His daily fits – snazzy, his dance moves – saucy, his Netflix genre of choice – raunchy. When he is not on fashion task force duty, he toys with 3D and makes good design better. All in all a cool dude that talks more on twitter than IRL.

Linda is on her way to become a duchess – her hobby is to visit manors in Baltic region. Her second hobby is to balance creativity with rationality, which comes in handy when managing projects and overgrown children (creatives) who make them. She also likes to scream at the opposing sports team from the stands. And she does puzzles. A bit of everything.

Alise has the biggest heart (chill, doctors say it’s a good thing). The love from it pours mostly in to music and work. The way she sings is so beautiful there is always someone crying at our office Christmas dinner. She sees the big picture in any project as well as nails even the tiniest detail, all while keeping everyone happy, smiling, joyful and sane.

Two things about Liene — a hard grip and a soft smile. Under her watch, things just happen smoothly.
Attentive to details, she understands the tasks without saying and keeps the client confident and informed. Liene is a dream colleague not only because of the account management skills but also due to her delicious cakes. But not all her secrets are to be understood—Liene often gets things done in mysterious ways.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These are the ingredients of Marta’s amazing cocktails that she delights us with. But they’re also pretty representative of her bubbly personality. Rumour has it, she’s made it into a few clients’ family albums, because she’s simply that likeable. Oh, and her delicious signature laugh is like a ghost — it really goes through walls.

Dita is our own lil' heartbreaker and occasional bone breaker (her own). She dabbles with many extracurricular activities, such as swimming, dancing, rollerblading, skiing (sometimes up the mountain) and sewing beautiful dresses with exquisitely straight seams. But all her projects are managed with a seamless sense of cool.

When Maruta looks her projects in the face, they lovingly gaze back. And no wonder, because Maruta is quintessentially lovable. Smart, charismatic, energetic and easy on the eyes, she’s a pro at modern dance, improv theatre, and enjoying life to the max. We totally stan for her.

The creatives' hate for numbers is inversely proportional to how much they love spending their salaries on useless junk. So it's good that we have Dace who makes sure that most of our cash monies are spent on real adult stuff and only a little on fidget spinners and fluffy slippers.
