About us

Badger is a full service B2B brand and communications agency. We work for companies that make, build, supply and teach things: technical industries, the built environment, professional services, education and a handful of consumer brands. We also do a lot of corporate and stakeholder communications. The work covers brand strategy, campaigns, content and social, from the first conversation with a client through to the project going live. We’re a small team of senior people, backed by supplier partners we’ve worked with for many years.

This is a contract role, around 10 to 25 hours a week to start. We’re open to how those hours work. If it works for both of us, there’s a real prospect of it growing into a full-time role. We’re very hybrid. As in, we all work productively from home most of the time and meet up when it matters.
