Case Study: Supporting a Fast-Growth Marketing & Creative Business Across London and Essex
May 1, 2026

Client Challenge


A fast-growing, entrepreneurial business operating across London, Essex and internationally required ongoing recruitment support across their marketing and creative functions.


As the business expanded, particularly within its events portfolio and content-led services - there was a consistent need to attract highly creative, commercially aware individuals who could thrive in a fast-paced, ideas-led environment.


Speed of hiring was often critical, alongside ensuring strong culture alignment with an energetic, entrepreneurial team.


Our Approach


We built a flexible recruitment partnership to support both planned hiring and urgent requirements, working closely with the business to understand not just technical requirements, but also personality, pace, and creative style.


We partner directly with the CEO and senior leadership team, providing hands-on recruitment support and advisory input across hiring decisions.


Our approach focused on:


  • Deep understanding of the brand, culture, and growth trajectory 
  • Agile response to hiring needs, supporting both planned recruitment and urgent hires 
  • Targeted search within marketing, creative, and content talent pools 
  • Assessing candidates for both technical ability and entrepreneurial mindset 
  • Acting as an extension of the internal team when capacity was limited or speed was critical 


Roles Successfully Delivered


We have supported a range of key hires across the business, including:


  • Events Manager 
  • Graphic Designer 
  • Writers and Content Strategists 


These hires have directly supported the continued growth of the business, particularly within its expanding events and content-led offering.


What Made This Different


Our strength in this partnership lies in our understanding of creative culture fit, and the ability to consistently deliver candidates who align with both the pace and ambition of the business.


We are often trusted not just for sourcing capability, but for our ability to:


  • Quickly interpret evolving briefs 
  • Identify individuals who thrive in entrepreneurial environments 
  • Remove time pressure from internal teams when speed is critical 
  • Deliver candidates who consistently “fit first time” 


Results


  • Successful delivery of multiple hires across marketing, creative, and content functions 
  • Continued support during a period of sustained business growth and expansion 
  • Strong cultural alignment between placed candidates and the wider team 
  • Trusted, ongoing partnership with repeat engagement across hiring needs
