Hey, Idea! Welcome to Endorphin.

You didn’t read that wrong. People are ideas, aren’t they? We are all someone’s idea to make this agency great. So the good news is, we already believe in you. We think you can do your life’s best work here. And your journey will be about showing what you’re capable of, not proving anyone wrong.

At Endorphin, we don’t just want to be an ambitious, world-class, creative company—we want to be one with a big heart. As we build this company together, we hope everyone who joins us understands our values and helps create a workplace we can all be proud of. That’s where this handbook comes in.

This guide is the result of months of thoughtful debate and introspection from our team. It’s here to give you insights into who we are, why we exist, and how we work together. We believe in breaking down barriers, embracing creativity, and making our clients happy with the work we provide. Advertising is culture, and our works are pieces of art. But most importantly, we want to connect with people on an emotional level.

We don’t care much about titles or positions—we care about fresh ideas and making an impact now. Our team is full of people who know their craft, work with passion, and aim to deliver the best results. We believe in constant improvement and the power of creativity to drive us forward.

This handbook isn’t perfect, but it’s a great start. It’s a living document that will grow and improve with your input. So, use it as a tool to unlock your potential and make your mark.

On behalf of all of us, ****Orkhan Karim Founder
