A place where everyone belongs
Diversity makes our agency thrive. We're committed to bringing diverse teams to all our client projects because we know that our best ideas come from diverse voices, viewpoints, and experiences.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, & belonging
We’re proud to be an LGBTQ-owned business with a genuine commitment to workplace diversity, but we know diversity work is never done. We're making strides to increase representation and instill a sense of belonging across every aspect of our company. We believe that our people are our greatest asset, so it’s important that every team member feels like they belong.

*Our commitment to staff privacy: Data gives us a better understanding of where we are from a diversity perspective and helps us make deliberate decisions in the areas of DEI&B focus and prioritization. But, we understand not everyone feels comfortable sharing personal information. Every staff member has the choice to not provide their demographic information and all data is aggregated and anonymized prior to analysis to further protect privacy.

We give back with impact
We want to inspire people in our communities, particularly women and people of color, to become the next generation of creative talent. We are passionate about donating our time, money, and expertise to nurture that inspiration.
Volunteering together
Our team members supports mentorship for students at local public high schools through guest lectures and office visits. These sessions give students a firsthand look at how the skills they're building in the classroom apply in a real digital agency, and a clearer picture of the career pathways available to them in the industry. We also volunteer our time and give money to the Family Equality Council, which works to advance legal equality for LGBTQ+ families.
Supporting our communities
At the end of every year, we give back to our communities. We share some of our profits with organizations that our team members select, such as the DC Food Project, the Lupus Foundation of America, and others.
Quotes from our staff happiness survey
The open-mindedness across leadership—and, frankly, the guts—to allow team members to speak their minds is incredibly refreshing.
Everyone is willing to jump in and help. I always feel supported and cared for.
I love the work we're focused on doing—we're not slinging candy bars or makeup—the projects we build are to help real people.
Life at Interactive Strategies
Our mission is to ingrain diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do. We’ve identified five focus areas that foster a sense of belonging in our workplace.
As a gay business owner, I understand the importance of visibility—especially for those who haven’t always seen themselves reflected in the workplace. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone—regardless of who they are—feels safe, supported, and empowered. Diversity isn’t just a goal; it’s part of who we are.
