DRIVING INDUSTRY CHANGE
.webp)
From high barriers to entry for working class people through to a staggering 18.2% class pay gap*, there is lots that needs to change in our industry. We commit to doing all we can to drive that change, starting with:
- Raising our voices to drive awareness of class bias in comms
- Publishing class, ethnicity and gender pay gap data and always showing the salary on job ads
- Providing paid internships at National Living Wage exclusively
to working class young people - Providing work experience to people exclusively from lower-socio economic groups

SUPPORTING WORKING CLASS TALENT & COMMUNITIES
We believe change has to go beyond our own industry. Since launching, we’ve consistently invested more than 10% of our resource in pro bono support, while giving charity clients an additional 10% of resource for free.
That has included work for organisations such as Big Issue, Mr Motivator’s Bed Banks, Working Options in Education and The 93% Club, alongside team volunteering with our local food bank.
We also support access and progression in creative careers - from helping young people understand the opportunities available to them, to mentoring professionals from underrepresented backgrounds as they build their careers. We do this by partnering with organisations including Creative Mentor Network, Brixton Finishing School, People Like Us and Women in PR.
