About us

Who we are

We’re obsessively devoted
to moving people

ADVENT CORE VALUES

These five values, all ‘I will be’ statements, were chosen from the characteristics our team exemplifies each day. They are the standards we hold ourselves to.

I will be…

1. Clutch

I come through in crucial situations. I respond confidently to adversity and challenges. I Get.Stuff.Done.

2. Relationally Intelligent

I care about how others think, feel and act— and adjust my actions accordingly. I am empathetic.

3. Upbeat

I come to work through choice not necessity and act in a way that is appropriate to the environment. I will choose my attitude. I will be genuinely friendly and optimistic.

4. Selfless

I am humble, yet direct and accountable. I put the team and the customer first.

5. Creative Problem Solver

I find innovative yet effective ways to overcome difficult situations. i am resourceful and agile.

We are creative thinkers, problem solvers, and challenge seekers. We create experiences that will move your audience.

Our team is a quirky group of folks and talents—we’re architects, falconers, sketch artists, 3-D modelers, musicians, MBA’s, marketing strategists, cheerleaders, typophiles, contractors, craftspeople, project managers, mathematicians, meat smokers, photographers, reporters, aerial silkists, writers, actors, moms and dads. We snack a lot. We like cookie Thursday, potlucks, food trucks, all kinds of music, gifs, campy films and giving back to our community.
