Clarion Compass
Providing clear direction and ensuring our team has the support they need at every career stage, from well-being initiatives to future-forward AI training.
Clever.
(Work Enviroment)
We foster clever thinking through our “Clever Works” framework, delivering insight-driven campaigns. Agency-wide AI training equips our team with future-forward skills; Our “Culture Vultures” fund fuels creativity; and flexible working empowers work-life balance.
Determined.
(To Thrive)
We invest in growth through the Clarion Academy (£1,200 bespoke training programme per person), offer a London Living Wage, and a “Clarion Contribution” fund. Bi-annual reviews, mentoring, competitive parental leave, and paid ‘keep in touch’ days support career progression.
Passionate.
(About Our People & Industry)
Our People & Culture Council champions inclusivity, and a Junior Board empowers emerging leaders. We invest in the future through a University of West London partnership, Bright Sparks, and support client industry charities like Grocery Aid and Hospitality Action. What’s more, our 74% female leadership team including our CEO, empowers and inspires our team daily, proving inclusivity isn’t just possible – it’s powerful.
Proud.
(Of Our Achievements)
When we create something special, we ensure it gets the recognition it deserves because we believe great work deserves to be celebrated. What’s also important to us is celebrating and rewarding our team through initiatives like our “Clarion Values” award and this helps towards our impressive 84% staff retention rate.
What our staff say…
“Supportive atmosphere, lovely culture and people! Daily access to senior staff for ongoing development.”
“The leadership team really care about staff – both their professional and personal development which then helps us do fantastic things for clients as you have a dedicated and committed team.”
