Leaders in Marketing, PR, Digital, Corporate Affairs, Sponsorship and Sports Marketing Recruitment

For over 20 years we’ve worked in disruptor sectors with fast growing challenger brands, placing outstanding talent in business critical roles in Marketing, Communications and Sports Marketing.

In June 2024 we joined the PartnerWise Collective to further increase our global reach at SMT and Board level and continue to fuse all the ‘human’ elements of search with advanced technology to provide a differentiated proposition and service level to clients and candidates alike.

Our expert consultants have placed Communications, Marketing & Commercial Partnership Directors at leading organisations across all sectors locally and globally both agency and client side.

Focus sectors include:
• Consumer Brands
• Financial Services & FinTech
• Sport & Entertainment
• Energy & Renewables
• Technology/Telco
• Global Strategic Communications Consultancies
• Brand Comms Consultancies

In December 2021 we became a Certified B-Corp achieving one of the highest points score of any UK executive search & recruitment consultancy. As a trailblazer for a more inclusive and diverse global workforce, we are helping to change the face of the Marketing and Communications discipline. In 2024 over 56% of our placements were with female candidates and over 25% with candidates from diverse ethnic communities.
