Two Degrees Below

With Two Degrees Below turning one, we're not quite done with the party games just yet… 🎁 We asked the team to find out 'what three words' best sum-up their experience, so far. 'Refreshing' and 'energising' take the prize, but who's the party-pooper that said 'Really. Hard. Work.'? Can't win them all.

After a whole year in business as an agency, we’ve covered a lot of ground.      So, what’s it been like for the team in those 12 months?       We asked them ‘what three words’ sum up their experience at Two Degrees Below.      ‘Whirlwind’ certainly fits the bill, and it’s definitely been a ‘vibe’. But can we forgive the Finance Director for counting ‘All Stars’ as one word?    If your business needs help navigating a change, make us your first stop:      Twodegreesbelow.com    #twodegreesbelow #agency #communications #strategy #creative #change

It’s our birthday this month. So to celebrate, we’ve made a playlist. We can scarcely believe it, but Two (Degrees) becomes one (year old). Yes, it’s a whole 12 months since a group of colleagues – and more importantly, friends – decided to start our own agency together. In that time, we’ve grown beyond expectation – something we couldn’t have achieved without the belief and support of all our wonderful clients, partners, suppliers and friends of the team. To soundtrack our journey, we’ve asked our core team to sum up their experience so far with a song, which we’ve duly compiled in a Spotify playlist. Beyonce. Bjork. B*witched – and more. Just like our first year, it’s a real rollercoaster. But hey, time flies when you’re having fun. If you want to get with us, give us a visit. twodegreesbelow.com #twodegreesbelow #agency #communications #strategy #creative #change

As a team, we are super proud to have been a part of making change happen faster. #twodegreesbelow #Allin #helpingbritainprosper #communications #creative #change

Euro 2024 is now in full swing. Tournament scheduling can conflict with work's – especially if England are playing at 5pm, like they are today.    As a people leader, how do you manage this?    It's something leaders will have to account for – not just against the context of managing a busy work schedule, but in terms of fairness for those NOT participating, too.   Strategy Director, James Murray, explains how managers can balance expectations in these moments, and create a level playing field for all colleagues.   Dive in below.    #euro2024 #matchday #peoplemanagement #football #agency #communications #strategy #creative #change #twodegreesbelow

We believe a business that lives up to a strong value proposition, and puts people first, will excel. In fact, it's something we're putting our name to, as we strive to become one of the UK's most values-led creative agencies.

“People with purpose are hard to beat”, so says our CEO and founder, James Wilkins. This is a guiding principle for our agency, when we help any business consider a programme of change. Change, after all, must work for those powering an organisation first. This is why the team behind Two Degrees Below made a big change nearly a year ago to start afresh. As the creative change agency, we have a renewed sense of purpose to help others find theirs. Our journey is just beginning. We’d love for you to join us on it. Watch this space to find out how.

90 seconds with… Lizzie Over, Senior Client Director    Lizzie sits within the beating heart of Two Degrees Below: our Client Services team. She is responsible for enabling our project managers to deliver their best work for some of our biggest clients. A deep background in events management has led her to this point, as her acute understanding that “brilliant people” motivated to work together to always be better than “good” is key to any success.    Hey Lizzie! So, what do you know?  The importance of relationships. Anything can be achieved when you bring brilliant people together. Always having a good plan but knowing that you’ll never stick to it. And that we should always challenge ourselves and our clients to be more ambitious – ‘good’ is never good enough!    What gets you out of bed?  These days it’s usually my puppy, Poppy. Beyond that, I really look forward to speaking to clients day-in, day-out and helping them to deliver meaningful change in their businesses.     Why did you want to be part of Two Degrees Below?   I wanted to continue working with a group of hugely talented people that has the shared vision to grow a business. Together, we want to deliver the kind of intelligent, creative work that makes a genuine impact to our clients. It’s very exciting feeling like I can influence what we build – and be proud of it.    What's the biggest challenge facing our clients right now?   It’s a cliché, but the pace of change will never be slower than it is today. While the role of digital and tech is more prominent than it has ever been before, people are still at the heart of all our clients’ businesses. Ensuring they are motivated, understanding of their role, and that they can adopt a change mindset to thrive is as important as it has always been, but harder than ever to achieve.           Where do you see opportunities to improve how businesses communicate?   Everywhere. Less is nearly always more, and the quality needs to be higher than ever before to get cut-through.    Why do you do what you do?   I like working with clients who want to make a change, and who see us as partners to their business that can bring value.     What do you love most about your role?   The people! I get to work with brilliant clients and colleagues to create, develop, grow and problem solve.    How would you describe what you do to a child today?   I talk to our clients, understand their problems and work with a team of amazing people to solve those problems.      When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?  An interior designer!    Biscuit of choice  Those really chocolatey ones from an M&S selection box.    Early bird of night owl?  Early bird    Wild swim or infinity pool?  Wild swim

Life is messy. Polarity impedes progress. People cannot be boxed. We always bear this in mind when help businesses understand how to change. We believe creating environments in work that mean people can adapt and grow is central to any programme of change being a success. But for businesses to excel, we do more than change the environment around them – we help instil a sense of purpose in people to flourish. We’re the creative change agency that gives businesses the tools to do this. We’re at the beginning of our journey, but it’s a story we’ve been working on for quite some time, together. Now, we’d love for you to become a part of it. Watch this space to find out how... https://lnkd.in/eCPB2q3F #agency #communications #strategy #creative #change #twodegreesbelow
