**The team**
With over 40 communications specialists, we strongly believe we are a sum of all our parts – we pride ourselves on being a broad spectrum of talents, experiences and expertise which all come together to tackle complex tasks and deliver results. Of course, we like to have fun – whether that’s post work drinks, quiz nights, axe throwing, team breakfasts or competing in a Tough Mudder. And with many of our colleagues coming from numerous other agencies we are often told we provide the right balance of high profile, interesting work, with a great work/life balance.
**The work**
Reputation can be a company’s biggest business asset. We help clients to manage their reputation and brand. To anticipate risk and take advantage of emerging opportunities. We help to shape perceptions and transform and protect reputations.
