70 business leaders joined us in March for an informal breakfast seminar hosted by Workplace by Facebook in partnership with the 300.
During the seminar, co-founders, Caroline and Phil discussed the unstoppable trends shaping the world of work and how modern leaders are changing the way they engage and communicate to meet the needs of their people.
Rachel Clacher, co-founder of Moneypenny, a regular in the Sunday Times Best Place to Work, talked about how placing people at the heart of business strategy has informed the success of her company.
A Workplace customer, Rachel told us how the innovative communications platform has enhanced community, culture and the bottom line.
Ruth Dance, Managing Director of the Employee Engagement Alliance also joined us on the panel for a debate with the Workplace by Facebook team.

For one, we’ve been in your shoes – we’re not ‘agency’ people. We are senior digital communications specialists who’ve worked at the coal face of marketing and communications for the past 20 years.
Poacher turned gamekeeper if you like. Frustrated by agencies (big and small) who didn’t get the commercial realities of our business, or who failed to deliver truly mobile website design, we realised we had some unique insights.
In fact, we felt so passionately that it set us on a bit of a mission to prove ourselves. And that’s how 300 came to be. Now we work with a range of clients from consumer brands, and food manufacturers to professional services.
We truly understand digital communications, we can deliver on the detail needed to create internal communications, websites, email, apps, digital publications, and we can stop you making expensive mistakes.
But we also understand how to integrate your on and offline presence, internally and externally to make one coherent brand story. It’s surprising how many agencies say they can do this but actually fail to deliver.
We can help set your course with strategy and planning, for your whole business or a campaign. And we’re dab hands at creating beautiful words and pictures that will bring your social, website or internal campaigns to life.
We’re passionate Workplace by Facebook partners:
We link your business drivers and values to your Workplace strategy so you can achieve real results.
We won the Best Workplace Launch at the Workplace Transform Awards for our innovative use of the platform.
We are unique in offering deeply integrated Chief Workplace Officer services.
Oh and we’re big fans of the Spartans legend where a bit of smart thinking from a bunch of determined die-hards beat the might of the Persian army.

I’ve got a Computer Science Masters degree so I’m fluent in ‘geek’ but I’m a creative marketer too. ‘Creative’ has to be one of the most over-used words, so why should you believe me?
Well, for one I’ve been advising companies and delivering creative digital strategies that really work for over 25 years.
As digital marketing director at Robert Walters Group I implemented Workplace by Facebook for three global brands and over 4000 staff, an enterprise-level Adobe content management system, launched over 200 websites in 10 languages across 28 countries, created award-winning apps and was named in the global top 3 #mostsociallyengaged recruitment company on LinkedIn, three years running.
One of my favourite projects solved the problem of Japanese job seekers being nervous about interviewing at Western companies. I pitched the idea of a Manga style interview guide to Robert Walters’ Japan business.
I secured the funding, created a unique user interface, delivered great content and launched it to market. It was named one of the Telegraph’s top apps – in good company with the Economist, BBC News, and Flipboard.
I have a unique ability to solve business problems through creative digital communication. I see to the heart of an issue and help others do the same. It’s proved to be my most valuable asset. Now I work with a range of clients from Finsbury Food Group, SRM and Samaritans.
Phil’s past lives
My past lives include: professional sailor, art school grad, photographer and computer geek. I like to think this makes me a little smarter than the average bear. It certainly gives me the fire to implement new ideas and stand behind them.

Award-winning communications and digital marketing. From strategy to delivery across a global audience.
