Over the last few weeks we've enjoyed logging off early to make the most of summer with Croud's Summer Fridays! ☀️ Here's a quick look at what we've been up to...
Last week Croud's London team headed to London Zoo for our annual summer party! 🦩🦘🐍 Thanks to our brilliant Culture Club for an afternoon of scavenger hunts, BBQ and boogieing!
Last week we held our inaugural alumni drinks event at the London office! It was great to see so many familiar faces, reminisce and catch up on everyone's post-Croud journeys!
We’re so excited to share that Croud has been included in the inaugural Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023, recognising Croud as one of the UK’s best places to work! Croud’s UK business has been included in this year’s ‘Big Company’ category, for organisations with 250 – 1,999 employees. Having been recognised as one of the Sunday Times Best Small Companies to Work For for two consecutive years back in 2018 and 2019, we’re delighted to now be in the big category in the revamped Sunday Times awards, following a period of impressive growth for the business.
The results are in, and we're delighted that Croud has scored 7 in this year's Campaign School Reports, following another exciting year of growth! And a huge congrats to our Star player this year, Chloe Mendonca, Croud's Project Director 👏
We are proud to announce that Croud has added renowned marketing evangelist Avinash Kaushik to our ranks as global Chief Strategy Officer! Over the course of a 16-year career at Google, Kaushik built a strategic consulting practice for Google’s largest customers. Most recently, he led Global Strategic Analytics for one of the largest global multi-channel advertisers, covering brand, performance, and influencer marketing across digital and offline channels. Tasked with supporting our clients as they make future-forward decisions, Kaushik’s role will span strategy, product, and data, as well as mergers and acquisitions, and will allow him to influence Croud on a global scale. His hire comes on the back of a strong period of stateside and global growth for Croud, following a trio of acquisitions including data and analytics company impakt Advisors, luxury performance agency VERB Brands and social media agency Born Social.
We’re delighted to announce that Croud has acquired global social media agency, Born Social. The acquisition will bolster our existing creative and social offering and provide new and existing clients with the best-in-class service across the entire digital ecosystem. We can’t wait to see what the partnership brings! In 2021, we also acquired leading luxury performance marketing agency, VERB Brands, and data and analytics company, impakt Advisors, to strengthen our luxury, data solutions and analytics offering to clients.
After a two year hiatus, the Severn Hospice’s greatly anticipated annual Dragon Boat Festival returned to the Severn, with two Croud teams taking to the waters! We had such a great time rowing and raising money, and our Team Sharkbait came in solid third place after some very fierce competition!
Croud has been named #13 Top 50 UK award winning digital agencies, and voted #5 Top 50 UK most admired digital agencies by peers, in The Drum's UK Digital Agency Census 2022!
This year, Croud is celebrating our 10-year anniversary! Since the launch of the business in 2011, Croud has grown into a team of 250+ internal employees, with an additional 2,400+ global digital specialists in our Croudie Network. With five offices across the UK, US and Australia, a growing portfolio of clients, and multiple award wins under our belt, we have a lot of reasons to be proud of our amazing Croud family. We've been celebrating all year long, so we've created a site that explores the history of Croud, recognises the people that make our business thrive, and highlights the fun activities and events enjoyed by our staff.
