COMPANY CULTURE: When Jill and Chris Drury founded Drury Design in 1981, they saw an opportunity to set a higher standard for events
by giving audiences the innovative, creative experiences they craved. Since then, Drury has built up a well of history and expertise, but
never strayed from Jill and Chris's founding vision: to create a place where people could do exceptional and rewarding work; a place where
imagination, creativity, and high quality of life were priority. We're proud to say that, after 40+ years, we've continually broken new creative
ground while maintaining our people-centric soul.
FLEXIBLE POLICIES: Drury Design employs a network of hundreds of full-timers and freelancers located all over the world-so remote
work has always been a part of our business. But in the last few years, we've all had to learn how to work together without actually being
together. This change brought its share of challenges, triumphs, and takeaways. Today, we have a deeper appreciation of our time together
as a group; that special creative energy we generate when we're face-to-face. But we also know that remote work will remain a viable and
sometimes necessary option for our employees for the foreseeable future. Our policy will continue to evolve as needed, but for now, it boils
down to this: If you're near our NYC office, join us at least two days a week. If you live elsewhere, or you're traveling, be online during work
hours. And as always, if you need special accommodations, just ask. We'll work with you to find a solution.
GREAT WORK: Part of what makes Drury so special is we're neither a small startup or a massive conglomerate. We're lean enough to form
personal connections with clients and each other-but experienced enough to influence big decisions and explore bold, new ventures. But
most gratifying of all is Drury's culture in which every member of the team is equally valued, and every success is a shared success. That
sense of ownership makes our wins even sweeter for employees and clients alike.
LEADERSHIP: Jill Drury is our co-founder and CEO. Her mantra, " Onward and upward, " serves as a frequent reminder that everyone here is
encouraged to learn, grow, and continually raise the bar with each new endeavor.
