We believe the best businesses drive impact and profit – without compromising on integrity. That’s how we work, and who we work with.

James explaining what we do at Embark Agency

Starting a new venture or project is the chance to embark on something great.

Like embarking on a mission to Mars or an expedition to Mt Everest – it’s exciting, a little frightening and involves risk. Most importantly though, it provides an opportunity to leave your mark.

There’s a moment when, after months, perhaps years of dreaming, thinking, plotting, planning, striving, failing and rising again to fight another day, you realise you’ve finally accomplished your vision. And that’s the moment we live for.

Brand Strategy meeting

Embark exists to help you create your legacy.

We’re here to define what you stand for, grow what you’ve built and leave your competitors wondering how you did it. Because legacy isn’t just about lasting – it’s about standing for something, without selling out.

We do our best work with brands that aren’t here to follow the script.The ones driven by purpose, ambition and a clear desire to do things differently – and do them better. If you’re ready to make a real impact, we’re all in.

James discussing strategy with clients on Zoom

Unfailingly honest, refreshingly collaborative and unflinchingly strategic, we act as a catalyst for change.

Both inside and outside of your business, we empower you to take forward thinking and strategic leaps. We approach every project with curiosity. Tirelessly questioning how we can improve outcomes and daring to challenge your expectations. Expect frank discussions, dependable correspondence and robust solutions.

Our formula involves a healthy dose of creativity tempered by a dash of structure and sprinkling of purpose.
