Based in 16th century barns rather than super trendy offices, Flipside is proud to do things differently to your typical London agency. Comparatively speaking, Flipside employs smaller account handling teams. Or, as Drake puts it: “We have 85% of people actually doing the work.” Clients include Toni & Guy, the United Nations, Anglo American and Dairy Crest, plus a number of smaller players, all attracted by the fact that the people they see at the pitch and speak to on the phone are the people doing the work. Revenue is well spread and turnover will hit £4.5m to £5m this year. This has laid a solid foundation for a period of acquisitive growth, which should see turnover more than double over the next few years.
