Finalist
Aurora
Summary of work
2022 has been a landmark year for Aurora, achieving key objectives in our three-year strategic plan in only the second year.
We invested in new expertise, through recruitment and team development, to meet evolving client needs and broaden our service offer. This has been pivotal to diversifying our client base and extending the range of work we deliver for existing clients. Impressive new and organic growth are the result, taking us tantalisingly close to the three-year revenue target in the strategic plan.
Our award-winning Impact Culture is a key enabling factor as it creates the right environment for growth. Every member of the team feels empowered to take on new opportunities while pulling together to deliver great work for clients and for Aurora.
Strong feedback in team and client surveys by independent agency Question & Retain confirm this success. Indeed, our results in the client survey are the best across all the agencies it worked with in 2022.
Aurora’s acquisition by long-term business partner Spectrum Science in August was well-received. We are already seeing examples of successful integration in training, recruitment and business plan acceleration, which all bring new opportunities for our team and our agency.
Judges’ comments
The Aurora team were strong with a good team dynamic. It was great to see the ambitiousness of their growth targets and the displine in their approach. The presentation was an extra layer of positivity on top of a strong written entry and the judges look forward to seeing what happens next with Aurora.
