Muckle Media has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media & Marketing by Great Place To Work® UK in the 2024 small and medium category.

To determine the Best Workplaces™ list, Great Place To Work® UK administered their research-backed Trust Index© employee survey and analysed the responses of UK-based Advertising, Media & Marketing employees.

The surveys, which were anonymous, 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.

The award comes as Muckle Media has also become a regional winner in the People and Work category in the British Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year awards. The category recognises business that have shown a commitment to recruiting, training and retaining a skilled and diverse workforce, which has led to an improvement in business performance. Demonstrating how diversity and inclusion is prioritised and plays a pivotal role in its culture is also a contributing factor.

Muckle Media is a dynamic communications agency that realises bright ideas, both for clients and for the future of the PR and communications industry. Offering public relations, digital marketing, crisis communications, events management, design and media training, to name a few, it recently acquired 100% of fellow B-Corp, Spey’s shares, making it a fully owned subsidiary. The deal, which grows the collective team at the two agencies to over 35 people, is a further step in Muckle Media’s ambitious growth plans, following the successful acquisition and integration of food, drink and hospitality communications brand, Taste Communications, in 2022, and award-winning PR agency Platform PR in 2015.

Nathalie Agnew, MD and Founder of Muckle Media, said: “We’re really proud to have been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media & Marketing in the 2024 shortlist, especially as the acknowledgement is a direct result of the feedback given by our very own team.

“Leaving the world in a better place each day at a time is something we pride ourselves in, not just in achieving the very best for our clients but in championing the happiness of our team to ensure we create a positive, supportive and encouraging work environment. It’s a delight to see the culture and ethos we consistently strive for recognised.”

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK said: “Advertising, media and marketing cover a dynamic sector heavily influenced by rapidly changing consumer behaviours and emerging tech. Leaders at the UK’s Best Workplaces acknowledge that there will always be parts of one’s job which will cause stress, and which cannot be changed – such as the fast-paced landscape of certain industries. As such, these organisations champion a multi-faceted wellbeing strategy which is integrated within their company culture and everyday ways of working. From mental health and psychological safety to job design and fulfilment at work – these organisations have implemented effective, holistic strategies able to target all dimensions of employees’ wellbeing, leading to a healthier, more engaged workforce. Congratulations Muckle Media for creating a truly ‘great’ workplace.”
