The next episode of our nineteen Unfiltered video series is now live, featuring Helen de Bois, managing director of Rapiergroup.
Following the agency’s recent announcement that it has transitioned to employee ownership, Helen shares why Rapiergroup chose the EOT route at a time when many agencies are opting for mergers and acquisitions – and what the decision means for the future of the business.
In a candid conversation, we explore the thinking behind the move, the opportunities it creates for the team, and how employee ownership can protect the culture and values that have helped the agency thrive.
We also talk leadership and long-term resilience: how you guide people through change, keep teams aligned, and build a business that can evolve without losing what makes it special.
