Born Social is out to set a new benchmark for what it means to be a leading advertising agency.

As a certified B Corp – rare for a company of its size and field – the London-based social media agency is as much about people and the planet as it is profit.

Born Social, which counts Uber, Nando's and Kopparberg amongst its clients, is always looking to work with local or sustainable businesses, and it commits to donating excess client products to local charities or community organisations.

It considers its ethical values increasingly important to its nearly 80-strong team, supporting them to donate 'one day to the world' and supplying only vegetarian or vegan catering. Employees can also opt to donate the cash equivalent of their end-of-year team bonus prizes to charity.

Born Social looks inwardly as much as it does outwardly, ensuring its staff feel valued, trusted and connected. They're free to take 'recharge' days whenever they need, work flexible hours and request additional leave days. And while in-office working several times a week is encouraged, staff are trusted to work in a way that suits them as long as they deliver and collaborate well.

From day one, all employees have the option of free health insurance or £30 a month to put towards their wellbeing, from gym memberships to massages. And everyone has access to free or affordable therapy through a dedicated app.
