ABOUT US
Why are we here?
OK, so that’s an existential question if ever we’ve seen one. The answer is pretty straightforward.
Our CEO and founder found out, at the age of 50, she was neurodiverse and a LOT of things clicked into place about her life and her career. A LOT!
Most notably, the things she thought made her different or stopped her from feeling like she truly fitted in, the things that people told her she needed to ‘fix’, were the very same things that made her a highly creative, innovative, focused, passionate, friendly, and authentic person, and marketer.
But, us 'neurospiciers' (yes that's what we're calling it) really do think differently to neurotypicals. A phrase you might of heard about is neurodiverse "superpowers". Yep eye roll and sigh, we hear ya, it's possibly overused and some people don't like the word. We do, and it's true. Let's take a look...
time for some neuro-spiciness
Just some of our neuro-diverse superpowers
We are highly creative
Neurodivergent people will always look to find a better, cooler, faster, cleverer way to do things (and not just for the sake of it but for exceptional output and real results).
We are known as exceptional problem solvers and out-of-the-box thinkers. This makes for great marketing.
We can hyper-focus
Neurodivergent brains quite simply are capable of producing outstanding amounts and quality of work.
This doesn’t mean we rush our work – it simply means we are highly productive and you WILL get more value for money. Fact. End of.
We understand
We are emotionally sensitive and have high levels of perceptiveness.
This means we are able to understand your customer in a way that really helps you to understand them and connect with them as well.
And we do this in a way a neurotypical brain could only hope to do.
We connect with you
Those emotionally sensitive brains also carry with them a desire to be the best we can be, and do the best we can for others.
It means, quite simply, we care a LOT about our work, its quality and its impact for your business. You won’t get second rate work from us – we simply couldn’t allow it.
We give you the edge
A very neurodiverse edge that is.
Research has proven that businesses which have, and more importantly encourage, diversity, are more successful, more profitable and have happier, more engaged employees and customers.
And when you bring a collective of neurodiverse brains together, that is magnified by 100x.
Superpowers? No way!
Yes way! Think about this. If you know someone who matches any or all of the following characteristics, then you probably know someone who is neurodivergent.
Can they get more work done in one day than some people can get done in three?
Switch from task to task and multi-task with apparent ease?
Is an extremely fast learner and quick off the mark?
Gets to the heart of a problem or a situation quickly (especially when in crisis mode)?
Is a great problem solver particularly when under pressure?
Will focus for hours at a time, without pause, when something just needs to get done or is very, very interesting?
Is both highly creative and very logical/data-driven at the same time?
Has an innate ability to read micro-expressions giving them a very fast read on someone (also known as great intuition)?
Is highly empathetic and caring of others – even strangers on the street?
Constantly striving for improvement in themselves and the things they are working on?
A very authentic and genuine character, with little-to-no thought of malintent behind any deed or word?
There are many more superpowers out there, and each and every single neurodivergent person will be different, and have their own ‘flavour’ of neurodiversity – but you will see the above are common themes.
After being made redundant from a senior marketing leadership role, within a traditional tech organisation, our founder wanted to take the opportunity to create and lead a collective of like-minded professionals, enabling them to use their neurodivergent “superpowers” to create super marketing for super clients.
And We Are Spicy was created. Taaa daaa!
