What is Curiosity?

Red Branch Media defines Curiosity as, “Don’t know the answer? Find your way to it but never ignore the question.”

Everything we do here is methodically-driven and well thought through. In other words, giving up is not in our repertoire. It’s an office of respect, an undying work ethic, and a passion to always keep learning and to apply best practices to all that we do. Being curious allows us to find not only multiple solutions for our clients but the right solutions.

How We Apply Curiosity

For me, Curiosity means having the drive to take a step back and look at your work from a different perspective to ask yourself, “what can I do to make this even better?” This forces you to do research and learn new methods, processes, and techniques to apply to your project to push the envelope so the results can be a step above. By having that need to constantly strive for greatness, curiosity comes naturally. The world is changing yearly, monthly, daily, hourly. There’s never a bad time to take a minute to stay up-to-date in your field.

“Curiosity is an inquisitive mindset we adopt at Red Branch. We are constantly digging for answers. Curiosity is embracing uncertainty with open arms and hunting down the truth behind the question at hand. Curiosity is learning something new every day by welcoming daily challenges, so you become a more well-rounded individual.”

– Nick Fountain, SEO & Content Associate at Red Branch Media (@NickRBM)

How You Can Have Curiosity, Like Us

Let’s tap into your natural ability to strive for greatness.

Here are 3 things you can do right now to harness the power of curiosity:

• Stay on top of trends and do your research. Find out what’s performing best and why instead of taking the easy way out and doing what you’ve always done for your clients.
• Learn. Then, learn some more. By staying up-to-date with current techniques and processes in your field, the work you produce will always be able to compete with the best.
• Welcome challenging tasks and bring challenges to easy tasks. By diving into difficult tasks head-on, you’ll build resilience and skill. In addition, instead of mindlessly completing your easy tasks with safe solutions, challenge yourself on how you can improve them.

Curiosity is an essential value to exemplify. Now that you’ve got this one down make sure to check back next month. We’re releasing another value you’ll want to live by with a complimentary playlist that’s bound to make you bookmark it. Listen to this month’s Curiosity playlist on Spotify, or below!
