What’s it like to work here?
We’re absolutely committed to delivering for our accounts, but we exist in a relaxed and informal vibe of inane discussions, creative thoughts and laughter. (mostly laughter). We’re driven by user-centred design, in everything we do, even if that means challenging clients. We get to work on the most AMAZING projects; did we mention we’re about to develop the employer branding for Nissan Europe? Well…ahem… we are. We also get to work with innovative SMEs, a great mix of retail, leisure, B2B and e-commerce – they’re all brilliantly different.
What are the hours/office like?
As long as we’re here for clients when they need us and putting in the hours (39 a week in case you’re wondering), we’re pretty flexible about when and where that happens. We work really closely with a tight-knit team of freelancers and partner agencies, so we’re focused on good relationship-building and being here for them too. All of our team get to dedicate 10% of their time to self-learning – we think it’s pretty important to stay ahead in our industry. In Washington, we’re slap bang in the middle of Sunderland, Newcastle and Durham – 2 mins from the A19 and 5 mins from the A1.
