Back then, we described what we do as 'giving people the information they need in a form they can understand and act on'. Times and technologies have changed, but those key messages of awareness and action still underpin what we do.
Care. Insight. Agility.
We bring insight gained from over 40 years' experience of creative work with a huge range of clients, each with their individual needs. We have the agility to work across a wide range of digital and offline formats, and blend them into tailored campaigns. And we care about what we do, partnering successfully with our clients to build enduring relationships.
Effective partnerships
At Acteon we work a bit differently to most agencies. We don’t separate roles like Account Manager, Copywriter or Instructional Designer. Each of our Consultants combines account management, project management, instructional design and writing skill with creative problem-solving capabilities. Backed by the creativity of our Studio and the technical capability of our Digital team, they’ll work closely with you for the duration of a project.
Why do we work like this? Because we believe it builds more effective partnerships with clients and delivers better outcomes. It means the Acteon people you work with have an end-to-end, hands-on involvement in the project. It means the people who are shaping the details of a solution also fully understand the strategic objectives it’s designed to meet and the context in which it will work.
In partnership with our clients, we’ve won a host of industry awards, including ‘L&D Project of the Year’ at the CIPD Awards, and multiple ‘Best e-learning project’ at the Learning Technologies Awards.
Consultants
Drawn from a wide range of backgrounds, our consultants combine strategic thinking, creativity, behavioural insights and depth of experience, along with an unwavering commitment to meaningful client partnerships. Our team includes generalists as well as medcomms specialists.
