That Little Agency | About us |

Little agency,
big heart

We have a very simple purpose: to connect great people with great companies. Everything we do is focused on making this happen. And we’re never short of ideas.

We believe that ‘big’ doesn’t always mean better. We’re that little agency. And we’re big on helping employers tell their story and sharing it in bigger and better ways. We’re big on data. On insight. On learning. We’re big on turning that knowledge into creating award-winning employer branding, careers websites and recruitment marketing that brings people and bigger futures together. We’re big on building lasting relationships with partners and clients – big and small, local and global. We’re big on transparency, inspired by challenge and we’re built on trust.

Because, if you’re an employer – whether you like it or not – you already have an employer brand.

Meet the little people

Sitting at the heart of That Little Agency is the team that will work with you and help you shape your brand, attraction and engagement strategies. Only one of them is obsessed with chasing cats.

  • Mark Beavan

    Mark Beavan

    Head of Agency

    Mark has over 15 years experience working with clients on how technology and the web can help them attract, engage and retain the best talent. And he is still going strong. He's worked with some high-profile brands, delivered some award-winning projects, met some great people and had a lot of fun along the way. That Little Agency is his baby, and while it started ugly it is growing into a pretty little toddler.

  • Sophy Gamble

    Sophy Gamble

    Client Partner

    Sophy has a huge amount of experience in employer branding and marketing having held senior roles in a number of Bristol agencies. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from local government and NHS Trusts, to large pharmaceutical firms and car manufacturers. Helping them address their unique challenges with strategic thinking, creativity and a sense of fun.

  • Oli Nitch-Smith

    Oli Nitch-Smith

    Project Manager Partner

    There are few people in our little industry who have as broad a knowledge of digital recruitment than Oli. He has over 10 years’ experience project managing website development projects, pay-per-click advertising campaigns across search and social media and is an expert in pulling together data into meaningful campaign reports. He brings a real sense of rigour to our website development services.

  • Gareth Wall

    Gareth Wall

    Design Partner

    Gareth is our go-to person for creative direction. He has over 15 years' experience working as design lead for a number of renowned branding agencies. We don't know anyone better at creating and developing recruitment solutions through creative strategic thinking, messaging and a key understanding of how a visual language can transform a brand.

  • Richard Edwards

    Richard Edwards

    Development Partner

    Richard is the one who brings all of our ideas to life. Without him our ideas would just be wireframes, flat PDF designs and copy in a Word document. A true coder at heart, he is a man who relishes a challenge. And trust us, we throw them at him on a daily basis. He is talented and has an impressive portfolio of award-winning and highly-effective work, but more than that he is a genuinely great person to work with.

  • Ben Wheeler

    Ben Wheeler

    Marketing Partner

    We've known Ben since he was in short trousers. A marketing consultant with extensive experience working with human resourcing and recruitment clients, he has seen the positive effects of good employer branding. With qualifications in CIM and CIPD, he brings strategic marketing capabilities along with in-house HR and employee communications experience.

Meet Ted, Consigliere
and office dog

Trusted confident and general pain in the bum, Ted is responsible for keeping the team calm and focused. He has no discernible account handling skills, can’t design, can’t code and can’t write copy. This sounds a lot like Mark really.

But Ted can chase cats. Really, really well. Although, he hasn’t caught one yet. And he probably wouldn’t know what to do with one if he did. Oh, and he does the invoicing.

We love the taste of champagne

We see awards as a reflection of the incredible work our clients are doing and the impact they’re making in the industry. But let’s be honest – we hate losing. And champagne? It’s addictive. Which why we’re always thirsty for more.
