What eximia does

Eximia is a London-based communication consultancy founded in 2012 by Chrissie Davis, operating as a private limited company (company number 8289899) registered at Malvern House, 200 Pentonville Road, London. The firm specialises in employee reward communications, with a core focus on share plans and an expanding footprint across total reward, pensions and financial wellbeing. Its target buyers are HR, reward and governance functions at FTSE-level multinationals; named enterprise customers include The Coca-Cola Company, Anglo American, Kingfisher, Morgan Stanley at Work, Rolls-Royce, Burberry, Diageo, Flutter, Kerry, DMGT, Keller and Skyscanner. The firm states it has reached more than one million employees cumulatively across 90+ countries and 40+ languages.

The service mix blends strategic consultancy with creative production and digital delivery. Core offerings include total reward, share plan, pension, financial wellbeing and pay transparency communications, supported by audit and analysis, content and copywriting, branding and graphic design, animation and video with multilingual voiceovers, and bespoke microsites and digital solutions such as voting platforms, calculators and e-learning modules. Productised tax communications are sold as tiered packages (Essentials from £2,250 and Premium from £4,950), providing a lower-friction entry point alongside bespoke enterprise engagements. The team combines credentialed reward professionals (including a Chartered Governance Fellow and senior share plan consultants with 10-18+ years of sector experience) with in-house creative staff.

The business model is professional services with primarily bespoke, project-based engagements priced at FTSE consulting rates, complemented by a smaller tail of productised tax packages and digital solutions. Sales is direct, with discovery calls and a content-led marketing mix (LinkedIn, blog, email, industry events) used to engage reward and HR leaders. The firm is founder-led, profitable in style, and operates without disclosed external venture, growth or private equity capital. Strategic positioning in 2025-2026 has emphasised the Pay Transparency Communications service and a partnership with Tapestry Compliance, alongside a brand refresh intended to broaden the proposition beyond share plan communications.
