What is a Culture Agency?
Updated: Jul 10
You've used brand agencies, recruitment agencies and travel agencies to act on your behalf and get things done — that's the literal meaning of agency.

So why, when it comes to your organisation's culture, wouldn't you use an agency too?
Culture needs thought, consistency, and a network of resources to help you build belief in what you're trying to achieve and how you get there — all whilst maintaining your purpose and authenticity, constantly. This isn't an endeavour to attempt alone. And there's far greater value in answering the real questions and delivering an outcome than spending money on consultancy projects that offer only a one-off, survey-based, surface view of something with far greater depth.
Culture deserves the same rigour as every other element of your leadership role — because it impacts everything, including your ability to deliver change at scale, at pace, and with trust. Without it, initiatives stall, trust erodes, and your best people start looking elsewhere. This isn't something to fit around everything else on your plate, or revisit twice a year. It needs to be embedded in your organisation — and everyone is watching your lead.
Agency means you're supported by multiple expert resources with a deep understanding of you and your organisation, available whenever you need them. It's a consistent presence that delivers culture outcomes, from small changes to major transformation.
In practice, this means being able to call on:
Understanding built on more than surveys, that effectively captures your culture
Creatives who can bring culture to life and align it with brand
Coaches to support leadership, managers and advocates
HR professionals to better align policy
Comms expertise for engagement inside and outside your organisation
Dispute resolution specialists to address behavioural issues
L&D practitioners to build bespoke learning
Wellness and DE&I experts to support mind, body and soul
Moments of inspiration and support, just when you need them
That's the kind of bench strength "agency" means. It's why Consider Culture is a culture agency — an approach that isn't the norm for this space, but is better aligned to how you can build belief with the resources and consistency available to you.
This isn't good intentions or fluffy conversations.
It's an approach that gets it done - the way all the best agencies do.
