    #12: Grant Jennings | Running an ethical agency and promoting flexible working

    (5:30) Grant Jennings is the director & founder of Creative Blend, a specialist creative agency based in Brighton. Today, he discusses how he wanted to encourage flexible working to enrich his staff and his passion for the non profit sector that inspired him to adapt his own ethical agency practices to work with multiple local charities, providing 10 hours of free services every month. Hearing about Creative Blend's pro bona work was my favourite part of the conversation as I got to hear how Grant gets his staff onboard, how the charities are supported specifically, and how they fit it in with all their other work which generates revenue for them. A real challenge when trying to do something noble.
