See Our WorkOur Values
We believe that in-order to help our clients achieve massive success and reach their goals, we need to put the customer experience first.
Looking at who your visitors are and what is most important to them makes the decisions around design, technology, and content immensely easier and more impactful. Identifying and evaluating technology platforms that align with internal business processes are equally important as creating a seamless brand experience for your customers.
We don't sell hours. We sell value. We don’t just design and code. We plan, strategize, and consult on the best possible solutions to optimize your customers' experiences and foster your brand’s growth. No, we’re not going to make your logo bigger, and we don’t make things “pop." However, we will make your mission our mission and use our expertise to meet and exceed your goals.

Mickey
Chief of CutenessPeople & Culture
Located in NYC, our team is extremely passionate about e-commerce, technology, and design, but we’re so much more than that.
We’re musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, animal lovers, and foodies. We’re fashionistas and geeks. We’re clean cut and tattooed. We’re Netflix binge watchers and deep thinkers. We’re also very much like you and your customers. We’re people.
In a world of screens and devices, we need to remember that these interactions can and should be personal. From our initial conversations to our post-launch support, you’ll always be dealing with people who care about you and your brand.
We believe that our work should not only produce amazing results for our clients but should also be fun and rewarding. Avex believes in a strong work-life balance, not just churning out projects. The happier our team is, the more enjoyable the experience is, and the better the results will be for your brand.
