What this factsheet does not know
- How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
- How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
- Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
- The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 27/10/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.

What the agency actually does 5 services
Sector focus
From our own research. The agency hasn't listed its sectors yet.
Based on IKAg research and public sources. Incomplete or outdated? Let us know.
People 35 people mapped
The titles skew top-heavy: lots of seniority, few juniors — you're mostly buying experience. Notably, no declared strategists in sight — this agency would rather make than philosophise. At 35+ people, there's capacity for several tracks at once.
Based on public profiles. Something wrong? Let us know.
Seniors or juniors?
Payroll cost per FTE is the best public proxy for a team's experience level. Higher is not automatically better, but it says something about who sits at the table.
- 57% women
- 43% men
Will your team stay?
Inflow and outflow from the social report. This series only counts people on the payroll: freelancers who invoice do not appear in it. A low figure therefore means two very different things, a stable permanent team or a small core with heavy outsourcing. A high figure usually points to short contracts. Compare only within the same type of agency.
