About us

We are an accredited Living Wage Employer

Since 2019 we have paid everyone at O’Brien Media at least the real Living Wage, because a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work is part of how we do business.

What it means

Fair pay is part of how we work

Being a Living Wage employer means we pay every member of the O’Brien Media team at least the real Living Wage, which is higher than the legal minimum and is set at a rate that meets everyday needs. We are accredited for doing so, which also shows that we meet external standards for fair pay.

We made that decision in 2019. We don’t believe in completing web design projects with minimum effort, so we wouldn’t pay our team a minimum wage either.

Our decision comes from our values of fairness and respect. It also helps us hire and keep talented people, and keep the high standards our clients expect.
