Our Mission

We don’t believe in doing things by halves. Our mission at Arke Agency is to drive long-term growth and ensuring success for our clients. We believe in the power of sustainable strategies over fleeting short-term wins.

With a focus on innovation and calculated risks, we craft unique solutions that align with your overarching business objectives.

Our commitment is to go beyond achieving sales targets; we aim to elevate your entire business.

By turning bold visions into reality, we ensure a lasting impact that propels your company to new heights, delivering consistent value and success.

Our Culture

Our team is full of big personalities, niche interests, bad jokes and good times. Self-confessed marketing nerds, we’re brought together by our shared passion for innovation, data, creative strategies…and our pets, of course!

Socials: We love celebrating everything, big and small, together. Our Culture Committee plans awesome seasonal socials, from camping trips to theme park adventures. Every month, we have ‘Show & Tells’ to share our big wins, and we make the most of early finish Fridays—like heading to the beach in the summer to soak up the Brighton sunshine!

Continuous Development: We’re all about being the best and staying ahead of the curve! Partnered with giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon our team learns from the top experts and keeps the knowledge flowing through fun weekly training sessions like Data & Doughnuts, Muffins & Media, and Coffee & Creative.

With our monthly internal SpArke Sessions we share knowledge across teams and even feature special guests such as our media partners so the whole team benefits from any latest developments!

Our Values

Arke Partnerships

Our values in action

Community: With a designated Culture Committee, we have worked on over 10 passion projects for local and national community causes that align with our values, such as the AllSorts Youth Project and the Human Dignity Project. All Arkenauts get two paid volunteering days a year to support causes that matter to them.

Volunteering Charity Partners: We have chosen national mental health and suicide prevention charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and CHOMP Brighton as our volunteering partners, supporting them by providing time whenever we can.

Fundraising Charity Partner: For our fundraising partner, we have chosen Endometriosis UK. As one of only 147 businesses in the UK signed up to the Endometriosis Friendly Employer Scheme, we are passionate about raising vital funds to increase awareness and funding for this charity that supports the 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth with the condition.
