Riot Communications

Riot is a values-driven agency specialising in arts, culture and entertainment. Diversity, equity and inclusion is central to what we do as a business, both in terms of our workplace culture and in the thoughtful work that we produce for clients. We believe that culture is for everyone – and our team reflects that.

Awarded with The Blueprint diversity mark twice, we pride ourselves on being both the smallest business and the only agency specialising in arts, culture and entertainment to have achieved this. We as a company are proof that size doesn’t have to be a barrier to meaningful change in the industry.

We rigorously follow The Blueprint’s 23 commitments and regularly review and set ourselves goals in focus areas where we can continue to improve. To integrate diversity into our company culture, Riot actively encourages discussion around EDI with an employee-led ‘Riot Roundtable’ series, where we discuss the nine Protected Characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 through the lens of arts, culture and entertainment.

We firmly believe that our work is made better by the varied perspectives that contribute to it. 78% of our team are women, 33% are Black, Asian, Mixed Race or Ethnic Minority, 44% identify as neurodiverse, and we have representation across LGBTQIA+, disability, and different religions. And our inclusive approach extends beyond our own company culture; we are trusted by our clients to advise on their own inclusion strategies.
