About Set Creative
We are a creatively-led experiential agency. For over 17 years, we’ve proudly been conceiving, designing, and delivering memorable experiences that connect people with the world's leading brands.
We’re proud to work with Bentley, Google, Castrol, Mazda, HSBC, and many more.
We have homes in New York, London, Portland, and Detroit as well as many other places to stay thanks to our WPP family.
We believe pride is the basis of all great work. It has the power to smash targets, build reputations, attract talent and get the world talking. Our people take great pride in all they do, and our clients get work they’re proud of.
To ensure we achieve pride in everything we do, we have a guiding set of principles:
- We respect our people - Whether you’re a partner or a freelancer, we give everyone the treatment and respect they deserve. And we celebrate and value all the things that make us individuals.
- We embrace DEI - We understand the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion to our business and society. We’re working to be better in how we deliver events, how we spend and how we recruit
- We act with integrity - When we take on a project, we’re up front about how much it costs, and will never make promises we can’t keep. If a piece of work isn’t right for us or our clients, we’ll say so, then work together to find a solution.
- We strive for sustainability - From the materials we use, to the communities we work with, we strive to reduce our environmental impact and run a more sustainable business.
- We sweat the collaboration -We work collaboratively with our partners to make each and every campaign the best it can be, doing whatever it takes to shine at our bit, whilst helping our partners to shine at theirs.
