ABOUT THE COMPANY
B2B has the potential to be electrifying. But the industry is paralysed by a culture of conservatism. It’s time for change. It’s time to make B2B marketing visceral.
We’re on a mission to make it happen!
On the back of our new proposition to ‘provoke the truth for progressive B2B brands’, alan. is in a period of fast growth. The agency has doubled in size in the past year – whilst adding more huge logos to our already impressive client roster. alan. is a seriously exciting place to be right now.
We’re seeking energetic, left field thinkers to join us on our journey. We want people who always ask ‘what if’; opinionated individuals who tell it like it is; and above all else, people with an innate desire to smash the status quo.
alan. agency provides digital-first, insight-led strategic creative marketing solutions for B2B clients including AWS, Mastercard, SAP, Google, Grant Thornton and KPMG. We are a subsidiary of the Raconteur Group and are independent and privately owned.
