big group is an award-winning, creative marketing agency who specialise in customer experience, creative technology, and performance marketing. Founded in 1991, big group are an international brand with its HQ based in London, and a European hub in Amsterdam.

The organisation believes in its ethos of “bigger thinking” – combining creativity with technology to create relevant, insight-led campaigns and content in a cost-efficient way, driving people and brands forward at every phase of the customer journey.

Creativity is crucial at big group. With imagination and ingenuity at its core, and its foundations built upon the four pillars of experience, performance, transformation and community, the organisation sees things not as they are, but as they could be. It works with brands that are looking to extend their horizons and maximise results by creating unique experiences, transforming business thinking, driving performance, and building connected communities.

big group also cares for its own community through a number of schemes. In 2022, the organisation became an Employee Ownership Trust, and all staff now earn a share of its profits each year.

The organisation offers menopause support through a Teams group that has been created, with all managers also trained in Mental First Aid. All employees can additionally access subsidised gym memberships, healthcare professionals, and professional counselling.
