Lexington Health
Summary of work
2022 was a landmark year for Lexington. After almost 25 years as an independent agency, we joined a network of purpose-driven agencies within the kyu network. kyu is the best of both worlds for us – our culture, values and approach remain distinctly Lexington, yet we now have global reach and wider expertise within the network, enabling us to broaden our offer. Managing this transition while retaining our core values during a period of significant political and healthcare turmoil formed a core part of our work in 2022.
This was an exciting opportunity for the agency, but any change presents challenges, and it was critical that we were able to continue our growth, whilst investing in our people and maintaining what is special about us – our people and our culture. We not only maintained this, but we took it to the next level, recording the highest ever growth and highest revenue in our 25-year history, expanding our team and continuing to focus on making our company a more sustainable, rewarding and fun place to work.
Judges’ comments
The Lexington entry was very strong and their presentation to the judges was even stronger. The judges liked the answer around staff and were impressed that they managed growth and staff retention, following a buy-out.
