Pros

I look back very fondly on my time at Circulate. The working environment is fast-paced & exciting with considerable scope for creative input and significant trust placed in all staff. Clients, albeit challenging at times, are always interesting given the niche. In comparison to other agencies, the care and attentiveness of the directors toward staff is noteworthy. In my experience, if they can help you in any way, they will and that extends beyond the tenure of employment, good folk across the board.

Cons

Margins are tight but that's a consequence of industry, mitigated by the people and clients you get to work with. Glad to see the introduction of more upper-level management staff to spread/support the workload.

Pros

The team is young and generally enthusiastic, but often left without proper guidance There is room to step in and fix things (mainly because there is a lack of structure to begin with) Might appeal to people already interested in social media or nightlife culture Suitable only as a short-term stepping stone for interns or very junior staff

Cons

The company lacks any real marketing strategy beyond basic social media posting and they will not support you when you need it No respect for work-life boundaries - employees use their personal phones and be active across multiple work WhatsApp groups at all times (even after hours) Constant staff turnover creates an unstable and stressful environment Leadership is inconsistent and often absent when support is needed, leading to burnout and frustration No meaningful benefits, no investment in employees, and no recognition of the workload expected

Pros

- Vibrant and enthusiastic workforce - Opportunity to introduce new processes - Potential fit for social media and electronic music enthusiasts - Solid opportunity for internships or junior applicants

Cons

- Circulate is almost always only running Social Media Marketing Campaigns rather than 360 Degree Marketing campaigns - Employees are expected to use their private phones and numbers to stay connected on numerous work-focused WhatsApp Groups & Social Media Apps, which can feel privacy-invasive - Extremely high employee turnover - Burnout, lack of support, unstable SLT management - Inadequate onboarding - Zero to little company perks or benefits, like private healthcare
