The team
Our team’s client portfolio varies from some of the world’s largest technology brands to up and coming industry challengers. Whether it’s exploring the role of artificial intelligence in modelling the future of healthcare, finding creative ways to talk about how materials recycling can help meet sustainability goals, or working with leading influencers to raise awareness of the cyber shame attached to financial fraud, our days are always different, but rarely ever dull.
With 20 experts as part of a much larger global team of sector specialists, we live and breathe the trends and issues around cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, fintech, SaaS, telecoms, digital transformation, data centres and storage, cloud computing and more. We love taking about what seem like dry, technical topics, figuring out why they matter and making them easy to understand by non-technical audiences.
The work
With technology rapidly becoming an inextricable part of every industry, our work spans multiple sectors, from healthcare, financial services, retail, automotive and more. This variety, along with our belief that the best communications programmes are integrated, mean our team members have the chance to contribute to, and learn from, a whole host of people and practices across the entire agency.
