We are SPEED, where independence is about more than just ownership – it’s about charting our own course. We believe in a more agile and personal approach to our client services, one that embraces creativity, innovation, and efficiency.

Here, we move fast.

And we change as the industry changes around us. We’re driven by a desire to do good work with great talent and amazing clients that challenge and excite us. Just like every story, all our clients are unique. That’s why we reject this notion of a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about the individual and how we can best use our business analytics and communications strategy to solve their problems. Our independence is about more than standing on our own feet – it’s about choosing who we stand next to, and we choose clients that we can forge true partnerships with.

Our team is small but mighty, able to communicate, coordinate, and activate in real time against the changing dynamics of our clients. We believe that a connected team is not just agile and responsive but better equipped to handle what should always be our major focus…our clients.

SPEED currently employs 40 full-time employees across Sydney, Canberra, and Manilla.

Our values are our cultural guardrails that ensure we employ staff who are not afraid to question the status quo. We’re divergent thinkers who get our hands dirty to make sure that client’s needs are serviced. It gives us a flatter structure and more senior staff than our competition.

SPEED doesn’t enter awards, preferring to invest the time and money saved in our own training approach called SPEED School. A mix of internal and external training modules and in 2024 alone we have already collaborated with training specialists – Tomorrow and We Grow. SPEED School has a dedicated graduate program, which has so far yielded 7 employees over the past 3 years.

Everyday culture at SPEED is led by our Head of People, Angie Singmin who manages our wellbeing program, staff wellness surveys, regular culture events and an annual company conference. We also have “Springsteen Day” – a day off for our employees to consider their mental health and what makes them happy.

At SPEED, staff churn is significantly below the average for our industry (and most other industries for that matter) at just 5%;  the result of this is a significant improvement in the consistency of the service that our clients receive. The statistic we are most proud of is that no one has ever left SPEED to join another media agency. We think it says everything!
