“The biggest challenge that most agencies face today, is attracting, motivating and retaining talent. Paying more than the competition is not the answer. It’s about creating a company culture where people are proud to work, want to stay and want to contribute.
Today, most people – and especially younger people – care deeply about the ethics of their company. They don’t want green-washing, they want firm evidence and objective metrics to see that their company cares about society and the environment. And don’t you also feel that way?
That’s why a rapidly growing number of agencies are becoming B Corps. But becoming a B Corp is not for everyone. It requires time, financial investment and sacrifices. This program will first help you decide whether it’s something you really want for your company – and if it is, will accompany you on the journey.”

testimonials
“Unlike most consultants, the Actus team rolls up their sleeves and does a lot of the work themselves, which allowed us to continue to run the business effectively whilst still undergoing significant change and improvement. I’d thoroughly recommend Dan and the team to any business owner. They have an impressive combination of knowledge, experience and intelligence, with an astonishing blend of empathy, compassion and kindness. He won’t take no for an answer, but the way he goes about getting a yes is some kind of Jedi psycho magic!”
