Blurred

Blurred consistently strives for excellence in its operations, focusing on a reciprocal relationship between the organisation and its team through The Deal. This foundational strategy emphasises continuous improvement, accountability, and tackling any complex issues affecting the team. The agency also champions diversity and intersectionality, ensuring that all team members, regardless of background or life stage, are seen and supported.

The agency’s robust mental health support system – which includes funded talking therapies – and personalised training programme, AcadeME, enable staff to feel that their personal needs are met as well as to “find their passion and turn it into positive impact”. Moreover, as a certified B Corp – with a score of 120, against the pass mark of 80 – Blurred places equal importance on “people, planet and profit”, while its people-centric approach is seen across all its activities.

The judges applauded Blurred’s progressive and detailed approach to creating a supportive and symbiotic work culture. The authenticity and effectiveness of its policies are evident, with specific praise for its exceptional DEI initiatives, focus on employee wellbeing and the tangible application of its strategies – it holds itself accountable by producing an annual Impact Report. Overall, the company’s commitment to its staff is clear.

Judges comments: “An outstanding entry. It’s clear why Blurred triumphs in these awards year after year.”
