The judges of this years' award said, “An excellent demonstration of growth and business strategy,” remarked our judges, adding: “The focus on people makes this consultancy special".

The approach

From a team of one in 2020 to a thriving agency with nearly 30 talented team members in 2024, this award is a testament to our team's passion and creativity in telling the stories of companies changing the world. As we approach our fifth birthday, we’re more motivated than ever to support disruptive brands and continue telling the stories of companies changing the world
