Talk to any member of the 3fold Communications team and you ’ ll immediately see the same characteristics . They are hungry for opportunities to learn and support their clients . They are human , working towards a healthy work-life balance . They are humble , eager to support their team and community . These three traits — hungry , human and humble — are 3fold ’ s core values and it is truly remarkable how their team , mainly young professionals , are the living embodiment of what 3fold stands for .
3fold ’ s dedication to stacking their team with young professionals has been instrumental in the continued success of the company . “ Bringing drive , tenacity and a burning desire to learn ” is how Jamie Von Sossan ,
CEO , puts it . The young professionals at 3fold have been able to execute top-of-theline campaigns on behalf of their clients , earning the company American Advertising Federation Awards ( The Addys ), Sacramento Business Journal ’ s Most Admired CEO in 2021 and the City of Sacramento ’ s Economic Gardening 2.0 grant in 2021 .
Taylor Toledo , 3fold ’ s planning director , says , “ What I love about working for 3fold is knowing the work that I get to be a part of is really impactful . I spend most of my time strategizing with higher education and workforce development organizations who are trying to solve important problems and it ’ s rewarding to be in those conversations .”
Kara Fiscus , vice president of operations , Zoom interviewed with every employee prior to joining the team in July 2020 and saw that the team loved working with each other . She says , “ 3folders are unique in their passion to do right by their community , to bring about justice and to improve access and outcomes . Employees really care and that starts at the top .”
Jeff Ackler , 3fold ’ s director of agency , shares , “ Leadership and my colleagues appreciate me for who I am and for not fitting the mold of what an ‘ employee ’ should be . We all tend to be entrepreneurial and we have great synergy because we trust one another and can be completely open , which leads to amazing things .”
“ At times we ’ ve been deemed the ‘ antiagency .’ While there are tenets that are foundational , it is really important for us to look outside of the box without having to recreate the wheel .”
