We are confident of our strategy given the solid results and are going to double this year and expected to quadruple in next few years.

Our vision will require us to rethink our operating model, and ways of working. To help lead through this we are initially focusing on evolving our leadership structure to ensure that our people, agency partners and clients are supported.
