PEOPLE

OUR KIND OF PEOPLE

Clare Emberson Pratt, Managing Director, Emberson Group on agency growth and acquisition and why at all costs, it matters to make life better …
Our story started over a decade ago with a desire to create a different kind of agency. A place where we could be successful and give something back. I like to call it a‘ do well and do good’ kind of culture. We view this in relation to people, planet and profit.
Fast forward ten years, we are a fastgrowing network of entirely distributed creative, marketing and lead generation agencies, all with a shared passion to make life better in work and outside work – it all starts with our people.
To deliver the best agency service for our clients, we start at the core, creating a working environment where our people can thrive and excel. Our people are our shareholders; they flexibly work from home or wherever they feel works best for them, no commuting, clock-watching or agency politics. Considerable investment into digital enablement underpins this drive and allows
full and seamless integration internally and externally.
We work hard to create a sustainable, nurturing, creative environment that allows everyone to just be the best they can be.
“ Good people bring out the good in other people- it is infectious”
The end result is enhanced, long-term relationships and a cohesive, world-class experience for our clients.
Reinvented workplace The pandemic has transformed the world of work beyond recognition. Organisations are working harder now to reinvent themselves in the new context of the‘ workplace’. We are fortunate to have the original founding team members still with us a decade on, whilst successfully attracting new talent. Our latest recruits have actively demonstrated the
growing need for change in the workplace, by voting with their feet. Some have joined us after breaking away from outdated structures, in favour of greater autonomy, flexibility and most importantly, trust. They are all looking for an up-to-date, modern employee experience. We all agree that we work at our best when we can enjoy and experience a full life outside of work. We believe that business should do everything in its power to enable that.
Growing for good Good people bring out the good in other people – it is infectious. As such, we are always scouting for like-minded people and businesses to join us. Our distributed set up has enabled us to keep a‘ business as usual’ mindset throughout the pandemic and focus on our building blocks for growth. This healthy position now allows for further
new businesses to join the Emberson Group stable. We are extremely fortunate and grateful to our all stakeholders, for their unwavering support as so many others have faced a very different reality in recent times.
Our commitment to growth is underpinned by a robust acquisition strategy, led by our Finance Director Laura Parsonage. We are delighted to have just welcomed Halo Present as our latest Emberson Group acquisition. Steve Alford and his team are experts in next generation creative PowerPoint presentations. We are very excited to be working together as a brand new force for good. You can find out more about Halo Present on our website.
