big group is a renowned, creativity-led, marketing services agency established in 1991. With its international presence manifested through headquarters in London and a European hub in Amsterdam, big group has garnered a reputation for its larger-than-life thinking and innovative approach. The company's ethos revolves around marrying technology with creativity, producing insightful campaigns and content that influence people and brands at every customer journey phase. The company's pillars of experience, performance, transformation, and community shape its way of working and delivering excellence.

big group's culture is a bedrock of collaboration and innovation. The sense of camaraderie is further bolstered by regular socials, team lunches, and a welcoming office environment replete with a kitchen/breakout space, an outdoor terrace, and amenities like tea, coffee, biscuits, fruit, and Friday breakfast pastries.

To maintain organisational clarity, big group employs various communication channels like quarterly CEO updates, profit share statements, weekly news emails, and an Employee Council. The company's 'learn and share' programme, featuring an extensive induction process and an online library of informative sessions, helps new joiners integrate seamlessly and understand the business better.

Through initiatives like the Lightbulb project, big group encourages disruptive innovative thinking, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Its commitment to sustainability and diverse culture is evident in its transition to an Employee Ownership Trust and becoming the first UK business to be certified by OutBritain. These initiatives, led by senior management, highlight big group's forward-thinking ethos and commitment to creating connected communities for brands and its customers.
