Big+Bold Becomes Northern Ireland’s First B Corp Certified Creative Agency
12th Nov 2024
Big+Bold, a creative agency founded by one of the leaders of AV Browne Belfast and McCann Ireland, has officially become the first creative agency in Northern Ireland to achieve B Corp Certification. This esteemed accreditation highlights the agency’s commitment to balancing profit with social and environmental responsibility, setting a new standard for the region’s creative sector.
From their newly established headquarters on Waring Street in Belfast’s vibrant Cathedral Quarter, Big+Bold delivers an extensive range of services, including brand strategy, advertising, content creation, and design. The agile team of 11 creates impactful work for a cross-section of clients, such as Hughes Insurance, Game of Thrones Studio Tour, Xapo Bank, Oasys and Smiley Monroe.
The agency’s influence is growing on a global scale, with recent international client wins in Japan and America showcasing their ability to deliver world-class creative work. Despite their international growth, Big+Bold remains deeply committed to the local creative community. The agency is actively developing a local independent agency network, aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation within Northern Ireland’s creative sector.
David Nurse, Managing Director at Big+Bold, stated, “Achieving B Corp Certification is the culmination of a journey toward greater impact that aligns perfectly with our core values. At Big+Bold, we are driven by the belief that creativity can shape a better world. This milestone reinforces our commitment to pushing the boundaries of how business and purpose can thrive together.”
The B Corp Certification reflects Big+Bold’s dedication to ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and nurturing a diverse and inclusive workplace. Their initiatives include supporting local communities, reducing environmental impact, and building a company culture where innovation can flourish.
“Becoming B Corp Certified isn’t just an accolade; it’s a challenge to continually improve and drive positive change,” Nurse added. “We’re excited to collaborate with other like-minded businesses in Northern Ireland and beyond, to raise the standard for what the creative sector can accomplish.”
Big+Bold’s B Corp journey exemplifies their mission to use creativity as a force for good. As they continue to grow and develop the local independent agency network, the agency aims to inspire other businesses to explore how their models can drive positive impact both locally and internationally.
