Leeds-based digital agency Numiko has been named one of the top 100 best companies to work for in the UK by the prestigious Culture 100 Awards. The award, based on a review of thousands of businesses and interviews with over 20,000 employees, recognises Numiko's exceptional commitment to creating a supportive, people-first workplace culture.

Numiko stood out for its open and collaborative environment, which attracts purpose-driven individuals who are motivated to make a positive difference in the world. The agency, founded in 2000 by University of Bradford graduates, focuses on creating "great digital for good". It works on projects with museums, universities, charities, and mission-driven institutions.

"We are thrilled and humbled to be recognised by Culture 100," said David Eccles, Numiko's Managing Director. "From day one, we've believed that to be the best agency for our clients, we need to first be the best agency for our people. This award validates our people-centric approach as we strive to deliver meaningful work fuelled by digital innovation."

Examples of Numiko's employee-focused initiatives include:

Quarterly "Hackathons" for teams to work on challenges facing specific sectors.

Regular team events: Numiko run monthly social events for the team, and summer and winter parties bring everyone together for an all-expenses paid weekend away twice a year.

A focus on nurturing talent, with dedicated time and training budgets devoted to learning for all Numiko employees.

Being open and transparent from the top down: Co-creating a long-term strategy with the entire team, sharing regular updates on finances, publishing transparent pay scales, and running anonymous ‘ask me anything’ sessions in weekly all-hands calls, allowing anyone to put any question to the leadership team.

With over 24 years of success and continued growth, Numiko remains committed to building a culture that benefits clients, employees, and the community.
