While the question may come from our clients, our partners, or any of our people, the answer always starts with Engineering.
An Emphasis on Engineering Excellence
From the outset, we’ve had big dreams for what Fluency could achieve. Building a healthy and sustainable organization centered around a thriving working environment where imagination, intellect, and innovation have free rein is part of that vision.
We won’t get there by taking shortcuts; the success of the company is hard earned—not given— and we define that success on delivering real, relevant, tangible value to clients. We believe that making an advertising execution platform that allows our clients to configure automation is key to delivering that value. To do so effectively, there must be interconnects between existing systems and our platform, in terms of both inputs and outputs. In order to achieve this, we’ve made Engineering central to all our efforts.
Our Engineering teams operate with a set of guiding principles that cover everything from clear definitions of "business value" to core application ideals. Among these principles, we see the following as mission-critical:
- We will help improve our clients businesses’ profitability, while making digital advertising attractive and attainable for their customers, by keeping SMB Advertising management overhead minimized.
- We will bring unparalleled efficiencies to today’s inefficient business processes.
- We will work to improve operational excellence by ensuring proper checks and balances are taken.
- We will be the enabler for our clients to unlock new and compelling opportunities to generate revenue.
- Our application must provide fast access to common workflows.
- Although we will provide recommendations and guidance, our application must empower our clients, not being overly restrictive.
- We will make our software do what software does best, reduce or eliminate the repetitiveness.
- We will endeavor to make integrations as pain free as possible for our clients.
