The 2025 UK’s Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media & Marketing™ list was launched this morning by Great Place To Work® UK, recognising Bind Media as #7, among the list of organisations in the small/medium category.
From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall, our team highly commends our dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across our business.
How we make Bind Media a Great Place to Work
Flexibility & balance
Life doesn’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so we’ve designed a working model that adapts to real-life needs. We offer remote and international working options, paid time off when children are unwell, early finishes on the last Friday of every month, and a dedicated wellness hour each week to help everyone reset and recharge.
Transparency & trust
A connected team thrives on honesty. We run quarterly anonymous surveys to gather real feedback, host monthly manager clinics and peer feedback sessions, and openly share company financials, wins, and challenges. Building trust means ensuring everyone feels heard and included.
Growth & recognition
Celebrating success is a core part of our culture. Whether it’s a big milestone or a small win, we come together at quarterly updates to recognise our team’s achievements. We’re constantly refining policies to better support our people, and through initiatives like B1G1, we ensure our impact extends beyond business.
These aren’t just perks; they’re commitments - commitments to creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and genuinely connected to their work and each other.
