About Blurred
Our future is threatened by urgent environmental and societal risks. Every corporate and public citizen has the responsibility and capability to make a difference.
And the area where you have the greatest potential to do harm in the world is also the area where you have the greatest opportunity to do good.
Blurred is a strategic and creative advisory firm dedicated to that opportunity, delivering work with depth that drives positive impact for clients, people and the planet.
We blur the line between management, sustainability and communications consultancy, helping public and independent companies understand and address material ESG risks so that they can become a truly Purposeful force for good.
Our work is built on the principles of ESGP, because we believe no organisation can have a credible, effective Purpose without first understanding the impact of its business on the Environment, on Society, and in terms of Governance.
From advising on the most technical elements of ESG right through to delivering the most creative expressions of Purpose, we help businesses be better.
And then, as communication experts, we make sure that story is seen and heard by all audiences, from investors and employees to policy-makers and the public.
Reflecting our management, sustainability and communications consultancy expertise, we won Best New Management Consultancy at the Management Consultancies Association’s Management Consulting Awards 2022, are a finalist for Consultancy of the Year at the EDIE Awards 2023 and we won Best Consultancy for Corporate and/or Financial Comms at PR Week’s Corporate, City & Public Affairs Awards 2023. We were also placed number 1 in PR Week’s 2022 ESG league tables.
We are also proud to have been named Best Consultancy to Work for by PRovoke Media in 2022 and 2023.
But we’re perhaps most proud of what we do to walk the talk in terms of values. We live our own purpose and values through the way we behave, from our public commitment to only work with companies making progress against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, to being transparent about our commitment to diversity and reducing our own carbon footprint, to holding full Blueprint status (we’re extremely passionate about DEI), to holding Disability Confident level 2 certification and – finally – by being B Corps certified.
In short, we walk the talk, and we only recruit people ready to do the same.
In 2022, we transitioned from Blurred.london, to Blurred.global, as we believe our clients have complex problems that require different experience and world views that don’t come from one sector of society.
Finding diverse, global talent for us at Blurred is key to realising this vision. We value a persons’ global experience, both personal and professional, and languages are of interest. We actively seek people who are located across the globe.
