The Challenge

Media and creative firms face:

  • Project-based work creates burnout

  • Client demands leave little room for team investment

  • Freelance culture makes permanent retention harder

  • Competitive talent market for top creatives

The Challenge

Losing a senior creative or account director costs £60,000–£120,000 when you factor in:

  • Recruitment and onboarding costs

  • Client relationship risk

  • Lost billable hours and project delays

  • Team morale impact

The Solution

Our 5-day Retention & Performance Diagnostic gives you:

  • Quantified attrition cost specific to your agency

  • Sentiment analysis by role and client team

  • Action roadmap with quick wins and long-term plays

You can't rely on passion alone.

You need to create an environment where people can do great work - and actually want to stay.

Example Outcome:

 FAQs

  • Confidential interviews, anonymous surveys, and psychological safety in workshops. We're independent - people trust us because we're not "management" or HR.

  • That's common in media. We help both sides understand each other's needs and find compromise. Sustainable change requires buy-in from everyone.

  • No. We prioritise quick wins (high impact, low cost) and strategic initiatives (longer-term investments). You control the pace and implementation.

  • You own the roadmap and can implement it internally. We're available for ad-hoc support if needed, but there's no ongoing retainer or dependency.

  • Absolutely. We include freelancers and contractors in our discovery and co-creation process - they're often the most honest about what's broken.

  • We sign NDAs and operate with full confidentiality. Our focus is on employee experience and culture, not editorial content or commercial strategy.
