Most of the team work together in one open-plan room at Unit 200, so the specialists on your account are never more than a few desks apart.
Dogs come and go at Unit 200 all week. Dexter, Andrew’s labradoodle, is one of them. Ernie is our only permanent resident, mostly because he’s so well behaved. He belongs to one of the team and spends the day at the feet of James, our Head of SEO.
He once sat down in the studio for an interview about morale and what he likes about working here. His answers are mostly eye contact.
