About RPM Ltd

Dom Robertson, Managing Director of RPM, oversees the entire agency, which has grown significantly over this year. As a result, Dom ensures that, regardless of where an individual is or how long they have been with the business, he will spend time with them equally and also devotes a huge amount of his personal time visiting all of our live activity. Whether evenings or weekends, he will ensure he spends time seeing the work of the business and feeding back on successes as well as spending time with people in the field. Dom is accessible and fully engaged with the agency and everyone who wishes to, can have time with him, whether to simply chat about personal issues or to put forward suggestions for the agency. He also lives the company values and ensures his senior team embody them as well as especially ‘leading by example’.

In December 2009, RPM hosted a Christmas Party whereby staff were asked to vote on the entire shaping of the event. By issuing voting cards, staff were able to deicde on the theme, cocktails, dress code and live band so that they felt they were making an indivudal contribution to the event. The theme selected was '1920's speak easy' and a secret santa was arranged between different teams to encourage people to interact with those they were less familiar with. Once presents were distributed, staff were then asked to find their present giver which again encouraged interaction. Over the course of the evening, the RPM Social Monkeys organised various team games, and speeches by senior members of staff were also carried out, congratulating staff on their acomplishments over the year, and toasting to the new year ahead.

RPM ensures that success, as a result of an indivdual or team, is not only made public to the whole office, but also celebrated. For example, in their weekly news letter they have a special 'thank you's' section,which specifically encourages and therefore recognises hard work or particular individual achievements. Also, everytime there is a new client win, a member of that team will ring the 'new business bell' that sits on the Account Team wall, which lets everyone know of this achievement and helps to bring the office together. Whenever an employee is promoted they are given bottle of champagne by the MD.
