Curiosity: the desire to know. And the first of Momentum's five core values.

What does that mean to us? And how does it influence our work?

We want to know the why and how. We ask probing questions and welcome diverse — even opposing — information. We never settle for the obvious, easy or conventional. We do not assume. We test, refine and look for evidence to inform our strategies and measure our impact. We delight in deepening our understanding of communication and our clients' issue areas.
