Campaign’s Best Places to Work, 2023

For the third year in a row, Campaign Magazine UK has named us a Best Place to Work! We take culture here at OG very seriously and believe it is a large part of our agency’s success, so seeing our name on such a prestigious list is an honor.

Of course, a massive shoutout to our Octopedes (staff) for being honest and open about their views and experience of working life at OG. It was also great to see our fellow Publicis Groupe stablemates on the list – Starcom and Zenith. 

Campaign’s Best Places to Work is an awards programme run by an independent research company, to identify and recognise the best employers in media, marketing, and advertising.

To be eligible for Campaign’s Best Places to Work, every company completed a two-part assessment.

• Part one of the assessment (20% of each organisation’s score) consisted of the WRG Employer Assessment, used to collect information about each employer’s benefits, policies, practices, and other general information.
• Part two of the assessment (80% of each organisation’s score) included the confidential Employee Feedback Survey, which was used to evaluate the employees’ workplace experience and culture.

By combining the results of both surveys. WRG can analyse the strengths and challenges of each organization. The combined scores are then used to calculate the final ranking. It is a pleasure to have been a part of this award for the third year running. 

Kavita Shergill, Head of Talent & Culture at Octopus Group, commented on the results:

“Wow, 3 years in a row. Now that’s some achievement! Campaign Magazine has once again selected us as a Best Place to Work. Despite a tough year, we are so proud to have maintained a great culture through innovation, constant hard work, and creative thinking.

Nothing would have been possible without the hard work and honesty of our Octopedes. As a result of their feedback and opinions, we continuously improve how we nurture and develop our talent and make sure we have a bloody great time along the way!

We’re super proud of our team here at OG and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds for us.”
