Spicy Mango was founded in 2013 by an architect and engineer, obsessed with the idea of providing a fanatical engagement model and experience driven by a personal, ethical and human approach to business.
Many years of dealing with, and working for, large telecommunications providers from the pioneering introduction of ABR video quickly highlighted frustrations and challenges that could easily be addressed.
We brought together a team of forward thinkers to innovative and generate ideas about how we would operate and behave differently to address common challenges in the industry.
The obstacles faced by clients and customers weren’t related to technology, they were related to process, and the pains of dealing with larger organisations that lacked domain knowledge.

Spicy Mango set out to deliver high quality professional services and products in the media, technology and telecommunications industry. We wanted to be nimble, responsive, and honest.
The culture of a business can’t be created, it’s ‘born’ out of the thought process, way of working, beliefs, and traits of the individuals that create it. You can’t write a culture framework on a piece of paper and execute on it. Culture is what you find when you look back after 5 years of existence.
For us, being great engineers isn't enough, we want to be a great people. To operate with integrity and transparency. To show that we value the relationships we build, and that we’ll do everything we can to go above and beyond, and make sure you love what we’re achieving together.
