What does Poke the Box mean?
We exist to push innovation. Innovation happens when we question, explore and challenge norms. We don’t want to just disrupt the status quo, we want to re-invent the status quo.
Poking the box is about guiding our partners to step outside their comfort zones. Our mission is to shape a future where brands are not just noticed, but remembered. That means often, we have to think a little differently.
