HIRING
Specialists in recruitment for agencies and brands across all sectors.
We work exclusively in the creative communications sector as a recruitment partner and training provider.
We understand how client needs shape teams, how briefs evolve, and what actually matters when you’re hiring. For over a decade, we’ve worked with leading agencies and brands to build teams that deliver, not just look right on paper.
Female-founded, with a mix of ex-agency experience and deep recruitment expertise, we know how agencies and in-house teams really operate, the pressure, pace and commercial reality, and what good actually looks like in practice.
We focus on getting the right person into the right team, at the right time, taking into account structure, culture and how the work gets made day to day.
Hiring is only one part of the job for most leaders. Time is limited, and the cost of getting it wrong is high. That’s why we take a rigorous approach to shortlisting, properly vetting every candidate against both the brief and the team, so you only meet people who are genuinely relevant.
The result is a more efficient process, stronger hires, and long-term success: with placements typically staying in role for 2.5 years and beyond.
Our Clients Include:
Creative, Design, Motion & UX Recruitment
Creative roles are some of the most vibrant and diverse within our industry. All of our consultants have a deep knowledge of the market, ensuring we provide the best service possible to both candidates and clients.
We match talent within a variety of positions, including Creative Directors, Content and AI Creatives, Designers, UX, UI, Video Editors and Creative Artworkers.

Hiring for Strategy & Planning
We work across permanent and freelance roles, acting as a specialist headhunter for planners and strategists from junior and mid-weight level through to Strategy Directors and Heads of Strategy.
Our first-hand insight into how strategy operates within agencies and how planning, creative and client teams intersect day-to-day gives us a strong focus on aligning strategic capability, creative ambition and cultural fit.

Social, Content & Influencer Recruitment
We work with creative agencies, brand teams and in-house agencies to hire social talent at every level, from Social Media Executive and Content Creator through to Head of Social and Social Director.
We support permanent, freelance and fixed-term hires, combining deep market knowledge with long-standing relationships to connect our clients with proven social talent, including individuals not actively on the market.

Recruiting for Account Management & Client Services
Today’s Client Service are expected to be commercial partners, orchestrators of teams and increasingly responsible for AI governance and workflow clarity.
We advise on what roles are actually needed, seniority mix and progression, and how people need to work together, helping agencies build interim and permanent client services teams that hold under pressure.

Project Management & Production Recruitment
Project management and production sit at the centre of agency delivery. When strong, agencies scale cleanly. When not, pressure shows fast.
We recruit across permanent, freelance and fixed-term roles, helping agencies build delivery capability that protects margin, timelines and quality.
As workflows evolve and AI reshapes production, judgement, prioritisation and process design matter more than ever. Hybrid roles are increasingly common. Expectations are higher. We advise on team structure, seniority mix and delivery design — not just individual hires.
