Pepper named in Campaign’s Best Places to Work 2026

We’re incredibly proud to announce that Pepper has been recognised as one of Campaign’s Best Places to Work 2026, placing the agency among the UK’s top-performing creative, digital and marketing agencies for workplace culture, employee satisfaction and team wellbeing.

The prestigious annual list, created by Campaign in partnership with Workforce Research Group, celebrates the best agencies and media businesses across the UK advertising, marketing and communications industry. Winners are selected through a detailed assessment process that combines company policies and benefits with confidential employee feedback.

For us at Pepper, this recognition means even more because it comes directly from our team.

As an independent creative and digital agency, we know that great work starts with great people. That’s why we continue to invest in building an environment where our team can thrive professionally and personally, from flexible remote working and “work from anywhere” support, to sabbatical opportunities, team meetups and wellbeing-focused initiatives designed around how people actually want to work today.

We’ve always believed that building one of the best agency cultures in the UK means listening to our team and creating policies that genuinely support work-life balance, creativity and long-term career growth.

Joe Friend, co-founder of Pepper, said:

"We're so excited to have Pepper recognised as one of Campaign's Best Places to Work 2026. We've worked really hard to cultivate the best company culture based on our own past experiences as agency employees, and actively listening to the wants and needs of our team. The fact that this recognition is largely based on the feedback of our employees makes this win feel even more special."
