Hard Numbers

We had a fantastic time at the Annual Numbers Christmas party yesterday 🎄 The day kicked off with some questionably elegant ice skating at Canada Square, Canary Wharf ⛸️ - safe to say we now know who has natural grace and who may be better off cheering from the sidelines next year. We wrapped up with a brilliant team dinner at Gaucho Grill 🥩, complete with a Christmas Hard Numbers quiz hosted by our very own quiz master, Charlie, followed by some well-earned festive drinks. A huge thank you to Charlie, Assyria and Oscar - our Christmas elves - for organising such a great evening. A perfect way to close out a hugely successful 2025 and celebrate the festive season and everything we’ve achieved together 🎉

Last week was a jam-packed week for the Numbers’… 🦃⭐ ⭐On Wednesday, our Communications Consultant Taniya and our Senior Communications Associate Sasha represented Hard Numbers at the Corp Comms Awards at Porchester Hall in London following our shortlist for our “Bodgeflation” campaign with FixMyCar. Although we didn’t take home the trophy on this occasion, our team still had a great night catching up with friends in the industry. 📈Also on Wednesday, we attended the PRmoment’s Agency Growth Forum where we caught Rachael Marshall of Magic Digits speaking about agency finance management. 📏On Thursday, our MD and Co-Founder, Darryl Sparey gave the keynote at the PRCA’s Measurement Conference 2025. Our Head of Growth, Claire Simpson also featured on a panel about what GEO and AI mean for PR measurement at the event. 🦃Back at Hard Numbers’ HQ, our Senior Communications Associate, Assyria, organised a Thanksgiving meal in the office - and it’s fair to say that most of us in the office were in a deep food coma in the afternoon! Hats off to our Junior Communications Consultant Oscar, who was so dedicated to bringing the perfect roast potatoes to the potluck that he brought in his air fryer to make sure they were crispy enough before everyone dug in. And a huge thank you to all the Numbers’ for bringing the Thanksgiving energy and incredible dishes to the office. We hope all of our clients and friends in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving! Here’s to more weeks full of good food and celebrations! 🥂

It was a phenomenal night for the Hard Numbers team at AMEC’s Global Communications Effectiveness Awards last Wednesday, as we brought three trophies home on the night! 🏆 🥇Small Communications Research & Measurement Team of the Year 🥈Best Use of Measurement for a Single Event or Campaign (with our brilliant partners FixMyCar) 🥉Most Effective Planning, Research & Evaluation in Consumer Comms (also for our work with FixMyCar) AMEC sets the standard for evaluation and measurement excellence in our industry, so this recognition means a huge amount to a team built around proving impact and delivering those Hard Numbers (we had to get at least one pun in there). We’re chuffed to have earned AMEC’s seal of approval. 📊✨

Last week, the Hard Numbers team took a trip to @bouncepingpong where we played a (slightly competitive) ping pong tournament. 🏓 A huge congrats to Adam and Lucy who won the tournament! 🏆

Last week, Charlie, Assyria, Lauren and Maj attended the @cipr_global ’s quiz night at @soulmamalondon . 👏 Although we unfortunately didn’t take home the trophy this time around, the team had a great evening of quizzes, cocktails and of course Soul Mama’s incredible chicken wings. 🍹 A huge thank you to the CIPR and Soul Mama for such a lovely evening - here’s to bringing home the trophy next year!🏆

Last week, the Hard Numbers team celebrated Christmas in style at our annual Christmas party! 🎄 The evening started off right with a Christmas quiz hosted by our very own quiz master, Charlie. Congrataultions to our winning team - “Yule Be Sorry”! 🎅🏻 We then headed to Dishoom for dinner before finishing the evening off with some festive drinks. 🥂 From all of the Hard Numbers team, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎉 #agency #publicrelations #agencylife

In October, we celebrated Charlie, Holly and Kuhikaa’s birthdays in style (if you haven’t noticed, we like Colin the Caterpillar cakes at Hard Numbers). 📈 It’s fair to say that we might’ve had a few too many slices after a month’s worth of celebrations. 🎂

Ready, set, go! 🏃 Last week, the team celebrated the second edition of ‘Hard Numbers Sports Day’. There was a selection of the racing classics, plenty of healthy competition, and lots of laughter. Swipe to the end to see the winners having their moment 🏅 #PR #AgencyLife

With summer holiday planning in full swing at Hard Numbers, we asked the team share how they have used their annual leave this year. ☀️ From taking in the beautiful sights in Lisbon (and enjoying the occasional pastel de nata) to attending the Eras Tour - the agency has already made some unforgettable memories this year 🌆🎤. #companyculture #summer #agencylife

Numbees’ day out 🍻 #Q3 has been off to a busy start and to celebrate a month of great #PR, the team went out for an evening of classic team bonding. Here’s to doing work that we are proud of! 🥂
