About Brainlabs

Brainlabs are both a full service agency managing search, social and programmatic advertising for their clients along with analytics and CRO services. They are also a technology provider, licensing it's software stack to in-house advertising teams. They deliver these services globally, from offices in London and Austin.

Brainlabs is entirely focused on company culture and they use that as an incentive to get the best out of employees. The company firmly believe that 'Happy employees are productive employees', which is why they invest so much in that particular area. Their value 'Collaborate, Don't Compete' encapsulates this idea. If people are rewarded with bonuses of varying sizes, people will never be satisfied given that the definition of 'effort' varies between different people.

The four values of their organisation are: Grow Everyday, Collaborate Don't Compete, Enjoy The Journey, Future Think. The pay and promotions scheme is now about how much an individual adheres to the company values rather than monetary performance. Brainlabs CEO firmly believes that if everyone is living the values, strong company performance will closely follow suit.

Enhancing the wellbeing of employees has always been at the top of their list of priorities. A key practice Brainlabs stand by is to remove stress from everyday life. Stress can take many forms and they try their best to tackle as many of them as they can. One example is having an in-house chef who prepares breakfast and lunch for the company. This ensures that not only are people eating healthily, it also creates a sense of community, forcing people to get away from their desks, have a break to engage with others and solidify friendships.
