Hansdotter on mainostoimisto, joka on olemassa paremman elämän takia. Sinulle se näkyy mielenrauhana siitä, että työt tulevat tehtyä ja laatu on korkea. Tämän tästä saamme asiakkailta kehuja, miten ihania me olemme. Ja tietty taitavia. Haluamme pitää ihmisistä huolta. Hyvinvoiva ihminen ajattelee vapaammin ja tekee parempaa jälkeä. Tämä sitten näkyy sinulle parempana lopputuloksena niin luovan kuin taloudellisen tuloksen kannalta. Yksinkertaista, mutta ei aina kovin helppoa. Lapsi on terve kun se leikkii, luova ihminen on parhaimmillaan pikkaisen kurittomana. Pätee pöydän kummallekin puolelle. Vain kurittomasti toimien voidaan nähdä isompia kokonaisuuksia ja sitä kautta luoda puheenaiheita perusmainossuoritteiden tuottamisen sijaan. Oletko ylpeä palvelustanne, tuotteestanne tai ideastanne? Onko ajattelunne tai keksintönne mullistavaa, mutta kukaan muu ei tajua sitä? Rakastatko työtäsi? Jos vastasit yhteenkin kysymykseen kyllä, niin meillä on jotakin yhteistä. Se on työ, jolla on merkitys
