Many of our trainees and associates also go on secondment at client companies, including Google, McDonald’s, Capgemini, AstraZeneca, Samsung, Novartis, Sony and WPP. We live and breathe our clients’ business and can talk the same language. It means we are on the same wavelength and understand what makes our clients’ business tick.
