1000heads started life in a converted greenhouse in a small village near Oxford over 10 years ago. A lot has happened since. We now have a team of over 80 staff and offices in Berlin, Sydney, New York, London and Oxford.

We’ve grown our company on a simple principle; that in this increasingly connected world, what people say about brands is more important than what brands say about themselves. This requires a new approach to growing a market.

What do we do?
