1) Worldwide celebration for women
One of the most significant aspects of International Women’s Day is its global embrace. It isn’t just about personal experiences but also about understanding the lived realities of women across the world. Helen, our Business Development Manager, vividly captures this global spirit through her experiences working with NetWorks, a charity supporting vulnerable women and communities in Romania.
One of her most striking experiences was supporting a free pamper day for women in one of Arad’s most deprived areas; this small act of care sparked smiles on the f ..read more

Why we became certified
For businesses, it’s no longer ok to be ‘good enough’ and in order to make a change we must strive to do more. This means making tough decisions day in, day out. Companies that are measuring their environmental and social impacts are helping society to be a little bit nicer.
We resonated with the ethos of what it meant to be a B Corp – we felt that we were already doing a good job when it came to our employees, our clients and our impact. Obtaining the certification would both reinforce those beliefs, and also guide our business decision-making to align with those core ..read more

When I returned to work after maternity leave, it was a bigger shock to the system than I could’ve imagined. Wanting to impress at work, catching up from a year of being ‘MIA’ and proving I still had loads to offer, all while being present for my son, navigating sleepless nights, illnesses and the growing mental load.

Declining a meeting because my child was ill and I needed to take them to the doctor.
Asking a colleague to move a deadline to accommodate my non-working Friday.
If we’re really honest ..read more

Through viewing the customer as human, regardless of them representing a company, CMOs are looking to B2C experiences for ..read more
