About Us
We are Planet Argon: a mix of designers and developers, strategic thinkers and project managers.
Our Story
When Planet Argon was started, we wanted to create a collaborative space for nonconformists and eccentrics to combine forces and make a positive impact on our industry. We’re not into fake smiles and schmoozing. We don’t attend networking events so that we can pass our business cards out to a bunch of random people. We don’t work insane hours to meet deadlines.
We care more about making a difference than how much we’ll earn in our lifetime. We don’t accept projects that we don’t believe in. We ensure that our employees get time away from the studio each year so that they can feel refreshed and productive when they’re working on our client projects. And we don’t recruit and/or work with anyone that doesn’t share those values.
We believe that this allows us to be more empathetic and mindful about our customer’s users when we’re not having to hide our authentic selves.
We give a shit.
Planet Argon Timeline
From the humble beginnings in a Portland apartment in 2002 to the agency it is today, here is our story.
Years in Review
YIR 2014
Hello from 2014. Our team put together a fun list of our favorite thing from this last year and wanted to share it with the world.
YIR 2013
2013 was a busy year. Explore what happened from new clients, new projects, new teammates, new friends.
YIR 2012
2012. We laughed; we coded; but most importantly, we got a foosball table. Join us as we relive (and badly reenact) the year that was 2012.
YIR 2011
Take a scroll down memory lane with us as we look back on 2011 (ps. it may look like we just went on vacation, but there was a lot of work that we did too).
