Pros

Being part of what is now Human Magic has genuinely been one of the most valuable experiences of my career so far. The team I get to work with is ridiculously talented, knowledgeable, kind, passionate and just really easy to work with. And everyone’s really believed in this rebrand. I know I have. Human Magic as a brand has heart. It’s personal and you can feel that in every bit of it. Joining as this was all being built has meant I’ve been able to get involved in so much, right from the start. Even better has been feeling like I’ve genuinely helped shape the brand – and that’s been seen and valued.

Cons

No cons at this time.

Pros

Working at Human Magic has pushed me in the best possible ways - I’ve grown a lot here, both professionally and personally. It’s been a really meaningful part of my career. The vibe across the agency is super collaborative. It doesn’t matter what team you’re in — people are kind, smart, and genuinely want to do great work. There’s purpose behind the projects we take on, and you can feel that. We’re working with brands and organisations that actually care about the impact they’re making, which makes the work feel even more worthwhile. And true to the name, it really is a human place to work. Leadership is thoughtful, open, and respectful of your time and life outside of work. You’re trusted to do your thing, and there’s space to grow and explore what works best for you. Also worth saying: our new owners actually give a damn — about the company and the people. It’s rare, and honestly, really refreshing.

Cons

If you’re thinking about joining Human Magic, here’s my two pence: things move quickly and sometimes you’ll be pulled in a few directions at once. It’s the kind of place where the pace keeps you on your toes, but if you enjoy that, and like a bit of variety in your day, it can be rewarding. That said, not everything is neatly mapped out. Processes are still evolving, and sometimes you have to figure things out as you go. It can feel like juggling a few things at once - exciting for some, but a bit overwhelming for others. So if you’re someone who’s flexible, enjoys getting stuck in and doesn’t mind a bit of unpredictability, you’ll do great here. It’s a place where you can really thrive if you embrace the pace.

Thanks for your review. We love the advice to potential joiners. With all of our new clients the pace is fast (sometimes frantic!) and the optimisation of processes and resources is hopefully getting better by the day. Keep up the great work and thanks again!

A year of change, progress and a future of magic!

Pros

It's been a year of transformation since the business changed hands in May of 2024, and the progress has been enormous. The previous board/owner was massively exposed and the business, quite frankly, needed saving from a toxic ego and questionable business practices. And what a way we've come. People are heard, nurtured and appreciated. We have all had an equal stake in the rebrand and I can only see positive things moving forward. Cannot wait to build more magic with the team and see where things go in the next few years. Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL people across the business, in every area. And they have all stepped up in uncertain times and have been galvanised by the rebrand, and there is a LOT of investment and future plans to be excited about.

Cons

We are still learning and growing after some serious instability. Some changes are still to be implemented, so if you are change adverse or prefer to work to exacting structure or frameworks, it may be too early in that journey for you. If you are agile, willing to learn and bend with changing process, then you are perfect to help create Human Magic. Changes have created a bit of a legacy of top-heavy project teams and the business would definitely benefit from an injection of youth and diverse ideas moving forward, but this is to be expected given such turmoil.
