From our offices in London, Paris, and Dubai, we have headhunted and placed some of the most talented communications, marketing and commercial professionals globally. In doing so, we’ve built an incredible network across the in-house and agency markets. Our clients range from boutique consultancies to global agencies, brands, e-commerce businesses, disruptive start-ups, and FTSE 100 companies and government departments. We have worked on a range of digital transformational projects as business equip themselves for the new world.

Our specialist market knowledge means we understand our clients’ needs and challenges and are able to help them acquire the talent they need to take their team to the next level. This knowledge has been developed from working in the market for 15 years and maintaining a team of experts across the PR, communications, public affairs, marketing, digital, content, sales and commercial roles. We have the skills and expertise to position our clients in the right way, help them attract the best talent, and advise on job briefs, salaries, and skill sets. We help clients with one off hires, build new teams or transformational leadership.

We take a proactive headhunting approach, handling every brief with the sensitivity, confidentiality, and discretion that is required when managing an individual’s career and business objectives. We use a combination of blended headhunting methods and exploration of our existing networks, often benefiting from intel and recommendations from those in the industry.

We are passionate about creating a more diverse workplace and have our own diversity board to challenge our thinking, expand our networks and drive and share best practice across the industry. See our values.
