About Uncovered

Uncovered is an award-winning, London-based social-first creative agency founded in 2017. Social sits at the heart of everything we do.

Working with a diverse portfolio of brands, we uncover what makes each one distinctive and create ideas built for where attention lives today.

We create at the speed of social; strategising, ideating, designing and producing through our team of in-house strategists, creatives, art directors, copywriters, producers, editors and videographers. We test, learn and iterate in real time, delivering end-to-end solutions from creative strategy through to production, reporting and analytics.

Our culture is as important as our creative. We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives, collaborative thinking and an environment where people can do the best work of their careers.
