Why Foundation and who are we?
We hear it all the time. Clients who tell us that their previous agency just didn't care. Our unique, senior-led, boutique-style model ensures our clients' campaigns get the attention they deserve, from people who genuinely care about the craft of media planning and buying.
It's not just our client businesses that we care about – we also care implicitly for our staff - the people around us. We put measures in place to ensure we do not burn out our staff, such as monthly ‘no questions asked' wellness leave. We support a healthy, fun and balanced culture through many initiatives: Annual Ski Trip, Wellness Leave Program, Summer days off, Parental Leave & Loyalty Leave.
Career progression is at the core of our People agenda, as such we offer a comprehensive development program as well as training for staff at all levels, and several tailored learning opportunities.
