Teamspirit

What Teamspirit does

Teamspirit is a London-headquartered, integrated communications agency that has specialised exclusively in financial services since its founding in 1995. The firm operates as Teamspirit Ltd, a private limited company that is a subsidiary of Chime Group Holdings Limited / VCCP Group LLP, and it recently rebranded to VCCP Roar in 2025. Its service portfolio spans strategic consultancy, public relations, content marketing, branding and design, digital design and build, creative campaigns, B2B data marketing, corporate reputation, and broadcast production. On top of this integrated base, the firm offers specialist verticals: ESG communications built around a proprietary 4 Ds of ESG framework, a fintech growth programme called Fintech Propel structured across funding stages from seeding through Series C, and an analytics service branded TS Analytics.

The business model is professional-services engagement-based: fees are custom-quoted per client, sourced via direct enterprise sales and account management, with a stated go-to-market of sales-led B2B engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and there are no standard tiers. Customer mix is concentrated in financial services sub-sectors - banking, insurance, asset management, wealth management, fintech, and sector bodies - with named enterprise clients including Janus Henderson, Fidelity, Standard Life, Shawbrook, Ecclesiastical, NorthStandard, Kingfisher, EdenTree, Killik & Co, ABI & PLSA, Smart Money People, Atelier, Benefact Group, GoalsFirst, and Oona Health. The firm has 51-100 employees, offices in London (66 Berners Street) and New York (257 Park Avenue South), and a stated global footprint through its VCCP Business Group affiliation. The technology stack is an integrated communications platform rather than a software product; there is no app, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, though TS Analytics offers dashboards and statistical storytelling and recent thought leadership addresses AI ethics in marketing. Notable IP and credibility markers include multiple Agency of the Year awards (British Bank Awards 2023, Financial Services Forum 2021, PR Moment 2020, Drum Business Awards 2018), the proprietary 4 Ds of ESG framework, signatory status to the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, and an annual pro bono 'For The Better' award run in partnership with The Finance Innovation Lab.
