The Human Touch That Matters To You
In September 2019 we launched our human touch campaign. It focused on the emotional transitions our clients go through and the role our colleagues play in supporting them when they need more than just expertise. We wanted to create a marketing campaign that dared to be different and we believe that it was made by the most inclusive production team ever. It’s the perfect example of our three strategic pillars coming together and Life at Irwin Mitchell is a continuation of this, which reinforces why our culture is truly unique.
We sat down with people from different backgrounds and with different experiences to find out what it’s really like to work here.
They spoke openly and honestly about their careers, their clients and the human touch that matters to them. You can watch all our stories on one playlist by clicking on the video, or you can read our case studies on our careers website.
