ByAtlas recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media & Marketing

At ByAtlas, our people are fundamental to how the business operates and grows. Employees highlighted the trust, autonomy and opportunity to make a meaningful impact as important parts of what makes ByAtlas a great place to work.

As a growing independent agency, we’ve worked hard to build a culture where people at every level have a voice in shaping the business, rather than simply working within it. That means giving our team genuine ownership, encouraging ideas from across the company and creating opportunities for people to contribute beyond the boundaries of their individual roles.

That philosophy is reflected in how we develop our people. We invest in progression and learning, give individuals the freedom to solve problems in new ways and create opportunities for people to make an impact early in their careers. Our graduate programme is a great example, with new team members given real responsibility and the support to introduce ideas, tools and improvements that can benefit the wider business from day one.

We’ve also created cross-functional initiatives that bring people from different teams and levels of seniority together to solve challenges across the business. From redesigning our client onboarding experience to improving the tools and processes behind our work, everyone is encouraged to challenge what already exists and help shape what comes next.

It reflects something we believe strongly at ByAtlas: technology is accessible, judgement isn’t. The same principle that shapes our work with clients also shapes our workplace. Technology can make us faster and more capable, but it is our people, their judgement, creativity, relationships and ambition, that make the difference.

“There’s a real sense that everyone has a voice at ByAtlas. You’re trusted to take ownership, encouraged to challenge how things are done and given the opportunity to make a genuine impact, regardless of your role or seniority.”

Great Place To Work® UK administered their research-backed Trust Index™ employee survey and analysed the responses of UK-based Advertising, Media & Marketing employees to determine the Best Workplaces™ list. The surveys asked employees to comment on how their company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.

Jonathan Weeks, Founder and CEO of ByAtlas, said:

“This recognition means a huge amount because it comes from the experience and feedback of our own people. We’ve always wanted to build a business where talented people are trusted to make an impact, where good ideas can come from anywhere and where everyone feels part of what we’re building together.

“We’re growing quickly, but we never want that growth to come at the expense of the culture that got us here. Our people are what make ByAtlas what it is, and creating an environment where they can do their best work, develop and enjoy being part of the journey will continue to be one of our biggest priorities.”

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK, said:
