BBN - The Business Branding Network
Working at IAS

We have a simple mission here at IAS – to be the number one business-to-business marketing agency in the UK. That means being the most respected, effective, creative and financially successful, which is no mean feat. Here’s how we plan to achieve it.

Through Courage

The courage to change so we can improve on the good things we do now.

  • Moving into new B2B markets to grow revenue by 10% per year
  • Pioneering new industry heights in B2B Creative, Interactive and PR
  • Embracing more efficient workflow software

Through Learning

To learn new skills and develop ourselves to move into new areas of business.

  • Understand new fields of business
  • Learning more about international cultures - including the language
  • Teaching people how to improve management and personal development skills

Through Courtesy

Becoming No.1 in any field is never easy. It takes a lot of hard work and the ability to cope with pressure. We have to look after each other along the way and treat people with the respect they deserve.

Our Values

Not surprisingly our values reflect what we need to get to No. 1.

Catherine

We value courage, to do what's required, to do what's right, to do things differently. No one made it to number one by staying in their comfort zone. Just ask our resident Aussie lionheart Cath. Waving the warmth of Sydney goodbye, she traveled 10,000 miles to join IAS' B2B creative revolution here in Manchester. So take heart dear friend, once more unto the breach!

Stephen in office

We value learning, for its own sake or to a specific end. B2B is always evolving so we need to learn and invent as we go. At IAS, nobody embodies this value more than Steve, who five years ago could be found packing DMs in the warehouse. Today, he's on the final year of a BA Honours in Entrepreneurship in the Creative and Cultural Industries.

Crains Awards

We value courtesy, in day-to-day life and in affording people the professional respect they need to do their jobs well. Peace and goodwill lead to prosperity. We like that, and so do our employees. After all, it was them that voted us one of Manchester's best places to work at the Crains Manchester Business Awards.

National Training Awards

We were honoured with the prestigious National Training Award in recognition of our outstanding contribution and commitment to training, learning and development in the workplace in 2010.
