Stand

Stand is a strategic communications consultancy that builds brand belief for trailblazers. Founded in 2012, we are proudly female-owned and led, and have been a certified BCorp since 2022.

We take great pride in our culture to ensure our teams feel supported, fulfilled, and excited to come to work each day. This extends to how we work with clients, and our commitment to having a positive impact on the world around us.

Comms can be a difficult industry to enter, particularly for those from ethnic minority or underprivileged backgrounds. We are committed to creating a welcoming environment that encourages people to do their best work, delivers exceptional results for clients, and drives lasting positive change.

We have several initiatives in place to support employee wellbeing, including counselling; private health insurance; Mental Health First Aiders; a wellbeing bounty that colleagues can use to support their wellbeing. We ensure our socials are inclusive, and have a range of activities throughout the year, from bowling, to murder mystery, to ice-skating, to an immersive Charles Dickens Experience! We celebrate what matters to our team, from Pride to Hanukkah. We take time each Thursday to hold an all-company “Shoutouts” meeting, recognising the brilliant work that’s been done that week.

The results speak for themselves: 100% of our employees say they feel trusted to get on and do a good job. And this year we won the Alliance’s Happiest Workplace Award, based entirely on anonymous feedback from colleagues collected throughout the year.
