Better Collective's vision is to empower iGamers - by leading the way in transparency and technology.
About
Better Collective is a web publishing company developing, designing, writing, and marketing for the web. We operate in the igaming industry and our vision is to empower iGamers – by leading the way in transparency and technology.
We own or co-own all the projects we engage in and do not offer consultancy. You can read more about our current projects here.
Better Collective was founded in 2004 by Christian Dam Rasmussen and Jesper Søgaard. Today the company has over 30 employees in Copenhagen and more than 40 freelancers located in Australia, Germany, Austria, Belgium, UK and many more. In 2011 and 2012 the company was awarded a Børsen Gazelle Award and named one of the fastest growing companies in Denmark.
As we are experiencing rapid growth, we are always interested in hearing from talented people within the sphere of web development, design, content, and PR. Please see our current jobs here.
Values
Innovative
Within our business areas, we strive to be better, faster, and more efficient. We are curious, and we question everything in order to be innovative. Most important of all – we dare to take chances!
Dedication & Commitment
In Better Collective we are dedicated and committed to our individual work tasks, to the company in general, and to make sure that going to work is always a pleasure and never a chore. Loyalty is key.
Competency
In our common eagerness to be the best, we know how important it is to keep developing and improving both our individual competences and our strengths as a team. Literally we go around the world to obtain the best knowledge and research.
Our Most Important Asset
In Better Collective every single employee is unique. Everybody from the management team to the student workers perform important tasks that are essential for the company’s ongoing success.
Respect
We regard respect as the most important variable characterizing relations between people. That goes for both social as well as professional relations. People who do not know how to show respect for both colleagues and external partners do not belong in Better Collective.
