What AlwaysBeContent does

AlwaysBeContent is a UK-headquartered, full-service creative marketing agency founded in 2017 under the legal entity Always Be Content Limited, with offices in Edinburgh (headquarters), London (regional hub), and New York, operating under a global service model. The agency serves B2B and consumer brands across at least eight verticals — regulated industries, financial services, healthcare, higher education, utilities/energy, drinks, membership organisations, and the public sector — with a stated specialisation in trust-building strategy, reputation management, and behaviour change marketing. Named clients include British Gas, Scottish Water, UCL, SITA, Weir Group, MDDUS, Franklin Templeton, Prudential, CFA Institute, and the Institute of Coding/Click Start.

The agency's service portfolio spans twelve practice areas: consultancy (brand strategy, business strategy, communications, risk, sustainability), creative communications, content marketing, customer experience, behaviour change (using Behavioural Science frameworks such as COM-B and Prochaska), digital marketing (SEO, PPC, programmatic, account-based marketing, social), branded film and video, media planning and buying, B2B marketing, sustainability communication, values-based organisational design, and accessibility consulting. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is professional services delivered by a senior team whose prior experience includes Ogilvy, Grey, McCann, Leo Burnett, OMD, and PunchDrunk, led by founding director Pete Martin (30 years' experience, former Executive Creative Director in New York).

Revenue is generated on a project/engagement basis through a sales-led go-to-market targeting enterprise clients via direct outreach, credentials discussions, and brief submissions. The firm has no disclosed external funding and operates as an independent, founder-led, privately held entity. It is a Certified B Corporation, an accredited Living Wage Employer, and Cyber Essentials certified, anchoring its positioning around sustainability, ESG, and behavioural-science-led trust-building. Awards include three consecutive Gold wins (2021–2023) at the Marketing Week Awards for Regulated Industries and a continuing run of Polaris Global, Heist, CUBO, and Drum Marketing Awards through 2025.
