Brain

Working with Johan and his team is always a great pleasure. Not only are they highly efficient at what they do, but their due diligence and industry know-how is second to none. They have also managed one of the most difficult things to do in business and that is to be big enough to carry considerable gravitas in the industry but also small enough to make their clients feel really special. I would recommend them if you are in the market for some fresh thinking and rigour in terms of an agency appointment.
