Careers
Join the team.
Since the company was founded, we’ve focused on ensuring we have the right people so that every client’s experience is exciting, inspiring, timely and straightforward.
We’re not building the biggest agency.
We’re building the sharpest.
There’s no endless hierarchy or hiding behind the word ‘team’. You’ll be in a room, trusted to deliver and backed by people who move fast, think strategically and take pride in their work. We care about outcomes, not egos.
We’ve built a culture that values honesty, creativity and drive and it’s something we live every day. It’s why clients stick with us. It’s why good people stay.
“I had never worked for someone who genuinely cares so much about my wellbeing and progression until I started working for Strand.”
Values.
We don’t just talk about values, we live them. They guide every decision we make, every project we deliver and every relationship we build. If you’re a part of Strand, these are non-negotiable.
Fearlessly honest.
We say what needs to be said, earn trust through transparency and always do what we promise.
Relentlessly creative.
We never run out of ideas, challenge the expected and turn smart thinking into real impact.
Exceptionally driven.
We take ownership, move fast and deliver results – on time, on budget, no excuses.
Behaviours.
Values are only words unless our actions match them. These are the behaviours we expect, reward and protect. They keep us sharp, honest and moving forward, together.
- Say it straight – No fluff, no nonsense. Be clear, honest and upfront in everything.
- Improve everything – Good isn’t good enough. Challenge, refine and innovate.
- Move fast, think smart – Take action, stay sharp and never let things drag.
- Own it – Take responsibility, follow through and always deliver.
- Be in it together – Support the team, collaborate and make each other better.
Commitment to wellbeing.
Every year we commission a third-party to assess how well we’re doing with workplace wellbeing. A few key stats from our latest report:
- 100% of the team stated they have enough resources to support them
- 91% of team rated the culture as good or great
- 9.3 employer rating
“The leadership is strong and clear and sets the bar for everyone.”
Health.
We look after the people who deliver the results.
- £180 for dental cover
- £180 for optical cover
- £500 for therapy treatments (physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, osteopathy)
- £75 for chiropody treatments
- And much more for you and your children, too
Wellbeing.
Work shouldn’t wear you down – we make sure it doesn’t.
- Flexible working (hybrid office/home working)
- Two mental health days per year
- Annual wellbeing in the workplace audit to ensure we deliver best practice to our teams
- 24hr advice and information line

Mission.
We’re redefining what an agency should be: sharp, fast and trusted to deliver real results. No jargon, no fluff, no nonsense.
Message from our MD.
“I started Strand because I was tired of agencies overpromising, overcomplicating and underdelivering. I wanted to build a place that did things differently: faster, smarter and sharper. Over a decade later, that’s still what drives us.
“We don’t pretend to be perfect. But we care deeply about the work and even more about the people doing it. If you’re ambitious, honest and thrive in a high-trust, low-politics environment, you’ll do well with us.”
