“S3 is built on its small-but-big philosophy, Where the Little Bite Big, which means when it comes to our staff, we encourage them to take bold steps no matter their background. Our agency is made up of people from all walks of life, including recent graduates, ex-journalists, plucky locals, agency veterans and everything in between. They are the life and soul of our business and without them, we wouldn’t exist. So, receiving ‘Ones To Watch’ accreditation is a testament to our belief that we have the most loyal and invested people any organisation could ask for, and we couldn’t be more thankful. The last year hasn’t been easy, but we’ve been striving to promote a better work/life balance for our staff, which has included the introduction of a ‘blended working policy’, allowing them to work from home or the office, post-COVID. We have also increased flexible working hours, which now stretch from 7am to 7pm, and introduced robust sick pay policies and strengthened private medical insurance plans – which include mental health and wellbeing support. These aren’t just ‘plaster fixes’ to get us through the pandemic. They’re here to stay as we continue striving to show that we value work life no more than our people’s personal lives. A close-knit team with a stand-out ambitious and down-to-earth culture, we want to continue proving you don’t need to go to the ‘big smoke’ – and pay London price tags – to get work that bites big.”
