One Year Bolder: Brazen Turns One (Employee-Owned and Proud)
WE ARE ONE!
And what a gloriously full-throttle ride it’s been.
This month we raised a toast (okay, several) to our very first birthday as a proudly Employee-Owned Trust – and naturally, we did it the only way Brazen knows how:
- A blockbuster year-in-review video
- Cake
- Cocktails
- A generous serving of Brazen chaos
…all possibly happening at once
But this wasn’t just about marking a milestone. It was about celebrating the people who power the agency. The beating heart of Brazen. And this year, we gave that heart an even bigger voice…
Enter, the Brazen Employees’ Council
Yup – we dropped some BIG birthday news.
We launched our very own Employees’ Council – a proper platform for the whole gang to shape agency life from the inside out. More voice. More choice. More Brazen.
And honestly…the best bit was having the entire team together – in real life – raising a glass to our unfiltered, turbo-charged, employee-powered adventure.
But wait… there’s more (of course there is).
Because this year wasn’t just about looking back. It’s also about what comes next.
Say hello to NOT MADE IN CHELSEA – our big, bold callout to the industry’s London bubble.
No offence to SW3, but we’re not here to sip flat whites in Soho.
We’re here for the other 87% of Britain.
Backed by a bold six-figure investment in our Planning Department, we’re building the next era of regional relevance. Real people. Real places. Real insight.
Built in Manchester. Designed for the mass market. Ready to break the echo chamber.
Introducing three new Brazen-born tools to help brands actually connect with the country:
WALLET WATCHERS
What are Brits really spending, saving and scrapping?
From Belfast to Bournemouth, we’re on it.
Fronted by MAFS star (and proper Manc) Hannah Norburn, this monthly content series puts the reality back in reality TV – and the consumer back in the spotlight
- Cost of living insight
- Regional spending shifts
- Brand implications
Because if it’s not hitting wallets, it’s not hitting home.
SOUND
Want to know what your audience really thinks? Don’t guess. SOUND it out.
Our new real-time feedback panel made up of regional influencers and local journalists (y’know, the people who actually talk to your customers every day).
– Test products
– Stress-test messaging
– Gut-check creative
From Scunthorpe to Swansea – if they’re not buying it, we’ll tell you straight. No fluff. No filter. Just sound insight.
UNBOXED
UNBOXED = cultural moments, delivered.
This is our seasonal influencer sampling service – with smarts. No spray-and-pray. No random gifting. Just right time, right place, right people.
- Timed to key calendar moments
- Regional faces, real followers
- Sampling with purpose, not just presents
This is unboxing – the Brazen way.
SO WHAT’S NEXT?
More voice. More power. More jaws on the floor.
Here’s to Year Two – louder, bolder, and even more Brazen.
To our incredible team: you’re the chaos and the calm, the heart and the hustle. We adore you all.
To our amazing clients: thank you for backing big Brazen ideas and believing in the Brazen way.
Let’s do it all again – and then some.
