Company Culture - We Change Minds

About us

COMPANY CULTURE

People talking about their shared values

What does company culture mean to you?

SHARED VALUES, SHARED GOALS

We’re not talking about early finish Fridays, medical cover and paid charity time. While we offer all of these things (see our plethora of company benefits), to us, company culture starts with looking after each individual — it’s an attitude, it’s shared values and shared goals.

COMPANY VALUES

We’re intentional about our shared company values, which anchor us in everything we do. In fact, we developed our company values during a collaborative team meeting and they’ve become key decision making tools that help guide our business. Ultimately, we’re people-focused first.

 

Our team of STEM, language and communications experts is passionate, energetic and vibrant. This, combined with the agency’s fast paced yet supportive environment, means we create capable collaborative teams that flourish. Every member of the team also receives awesome training in PR and digital marketing.

Our campaigns have personality, just like our people

If there’s one thing we can guarantee, it’s that your campaigns will be bursting with personality and stand out from the rest.

Dare to challenge even when it’s challenging

No mountain is too high for us to climb. New product? New market? We’ve got you. In fact, challenges are what drives  us.

Work is fun, get shit done, be excellent at it

If we want something, we go and get it. Whether it’s national coverage or an interview with a leading industry figure.

FEARLESS

Be brave, make mistakes and lead by example

If you don’t try, you’ll never know. If we have a cool idea, we’ll never shy away. Trial and error has made us grow into the fab technical PR agency we are today.

HUMAN

Work with people you like and look after them

As cheesy as it sounds, we’re like one big family. Looking after and supporting each other is a core part of our culture, and it shows in our campaigns.

Our team of STEM, language and communications experts is passionate, energetic and vibrant. This, combined with the agency’s fast paced yet supportive environment, means we create capable collaborative teams that flourish. Every member of the team also receives awesome training in PR and digital marketing.

EMPOWERING EACH INDIVIDUAL TO SUCCEED

From our PR assistants to our managing director, we’re passionate about STEM. Whether we’re chatting about the latest AI trends in the corridor or discussing the latest Nobel Prize winners over lunch, if you want to work with clients who lead the conversation at the forefront of technical and scientific innovation, Stone Junction is the place for you.

We make PR career progression simple and put it in the hands of each and every individual. Stone Junction’s clearly defined SMART objectives system means that career progression is clear, fair and achievable. These are measured numerically, and identical for each member of the team working at the same level, to avoid subjective judgement. In fact, our account directors all joined Stone Junction in junior roles and they’ve chosen to stick around, so we must be doing something right.

WELLBEING AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO

We’re firm believers that people deserve to be happy and treated well. We value our employees as people and in 2021, we won the best staff wellbeing initiative at the CIPR Midlands Pride Awards.

As well as mental health drop-in hours, virtual PT sessions and duvet days, fundamentally we’re a team that celebrates successes, shares interests and learns from one another.

Our hybrid working model blends the flexibility of working from home with valuable time in one of our social office spaces. The team spends a minimum of two days a week in the office, but we find that most people actually opt to come in more.

We actively help our team maintain a positive work life balance, through health and wellbeing initiatives, continued professional development and looking out for each other day to day. Our monthly social also gives us the opportunity to get together as friends, while supporting some great local businesses — think bowling, curry nights and pizza parties.

A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE CULTURE

At Stone Junction, everyone’s voice matters. We’re committed to the principle of equal pay for like for like or broadly similar work for our staff, irrespective of age, sex or ethnic origin or any other protected characteristic.

Here are some of the things we are doing to promote inclusivity and diversity in the marketing and PR agency world:

  • Members of our senior team are mentors for the Taylor Bennet Foundation — a charity that exists to encourage people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds to pursue a career in communications
  • A transparent pay structure
  • Where possible we apply the ‘Rooney Rule’ when shortlisting applicants during recruitment
  • Shared parental leave policy and enhanced maternity leave policy
