# Our work matters  
*Our people matter*

 

 

 ### As a global Creative Communications Agency, we build fame that performs. The kind that drives commercial return, shapes culture and builds sustainable, measurable growth. And that doesn't come from playing it safe.

### We're here to create brave campaigns for brands.

As a team, we do it by thinking differently. By believing everyone is creative. That curiosity drives growth. That fame and fortune favour the brave.

We also believe that business is more than the bottom line. And that shapes who we work with, how we work and the standards we hold ourselves to.

 ## The PrettyGreen Difference

### We’re a diverse creative agency in every sense. 26% of our team come from racially diverse backgrounds and 80% of our leadership team are female. We treat everyone with respect, celebrate our differences and have each other’s backs, knowing we succeed when we’re united. 

We show up boldly, do what we say and take responsibility for our clients, our people and the world around us. We communicate clearly, listen fully and challenge directly, giving meaningful feedback that isn’t always comfortable but helps us do better.

And we continuously raise the bar by always learning, adapting, improving and changing. We embrace risk, always testing new ground. And if we fail, we learn and go again.

### Olly Reeves

Social Creative

I joined PrettyGreen in 2022 as an intern in the Influencer &amp; Social team. From the outset, I was trusted to take on responsibility and encouraged to explore my interest in creativity – contributing to pitches, producing agency social assets, developing ideas and learning across both the influencer and studio teams. That support helped me grow into a hybrid Influencer &amp; Social Creative and Campaign Manager role, leading social-first campaigns for brands including Audible, Hasbro and Innocent Drinks, and creatively shaping social campaigns that have won us a couple of gongs!

### Gabriella Mascia

Senior Strategist

I joined PrettyGreen in 2022, looking for something new. After cutting my teeth in digital marketing, I stepped into a role that didn’t previously exist: the agency’s first-ever Insights Planner. It positioned me as the voice of data-led cultural insight, translating everything from Google search trends and social listening data into strategic direction.   
  
Four years on, I’m now Senior Strategist in the Studio team. I’ve carved a path I’m proud of, backed by the energy and ambition of PrettyGreen. I’ve led strategy for clients across the industry, won new business, and delivered multiple award-winning campaigns – including the pregnancy announcement for a family of cartoon pigs.
