One Green Bean

What One Green Bean does

One Green Bean is a full-service earned media agency operating across London (UK headquarters), Sydney (Australia), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Doha (Qatar). Founded in 2007, the agency provides integrated PR, social media, content creation, and influencer ("co-maker") marketing services to enterprise and mid-market brand clients. Its core offerings span four service pillars: Public Relations (insight-led strategy, media relations, corporate communications, events, and talent management), Social (digital consultancy, social-first creative, community management, and paid media), Content (documentaries, podcasts, music videos, photography, and creative production), and Co-maker (influencer identification, relationship management, and end-to-end campaign execution).

The company serves a diverse roster of enterprise brand clients including Nike, Tesco Mobile, Domino's, Porsche, Vodafone, Dyson, Huawei, Virgin Atlantic, TUI, and Costa, among others. Its business model is B2B professional services delivered on a project and retainer basis, with services sold directly to client marketing and brand teams in each regional market. Headcount stands at 100+ specialists, with regional Managing Directors Richard Tompkins (UK) and Amber Abbott (Australia) leading operations; founders Anthony Freedman (Global CEO) and Kat Thomas (Global ECD) provide global leadership. The agency is a subsidiary of Havas, the global communications conglomerate, and its Amsterdam office operates from Havas Village. The company's positioning is that of a creative-led earned media shop rather than a paid-media agency, with measurable campaign outcomes cited across case studies (e.g., 855m earned reach for Domino's "Nobody Delivers Better"; +37% unit sales for Cillit Bang's "Project Barry"; share of voice lifted from 17.5% to 38.9% for Tesco Mobile).

The agency has no proprietary technology platform — its core deliverable is creative service work delivered by human teams. It received Marketing Society Brand of the Year in 2024 for the Domino's campaign and continues to extend its geographic footprint, most recently into Doha. Revenue, financial performance, and ownership structure details beyond the Havas parent relationship are not disclosed in public materials.
