We’re ‘finally’ getting comfortable in 2024
What the year of the finalist has meant for Driftime® in our 2023 Impact Report, and more…
⏰ Short on time? Here’s the nutshell…
💥 Our 2023 Impact Report is well and truly alive and kicking, a dynamic digital archive of the year past, in all its nitty gritty glory.
🌟 We’re in our second year of being listed as a finalist for the Company Culture Awards as the Best Small Agency to Work for!
🗞 We’ve had features in a number of notable publications recently, with Creative Boom, World Advertising Research Centre, and Agency Hackers all getting a taste of the Driftime perspective.
📆 Driftime co-founder and CCO, Abb-d Taiyo, will be speaking at two upcoming events; Future Proofing Your Agency on April 18th, and the State of Leadership in Technology on April 24th.
Capturing the full scope of impact
The wait is over - our 2023 Impact Report has landed!
We thought it would only be right to close off our B Corp month celebrations with our very own Impact Report for 2023. Taking a good look at our successes, shortcomings, and everything in between was an exercise in radical transparency, getting down to the nitty gritty of the year past, and taking stock of what we can improve on as we make our way through 2024.
The Drifteam collaborated together to design, develop, and write the report as an interactive visual deep dive into 12 months of progress and process, a playful feast of colours, shapes, (and a healthy serving of fun) capturing the essence of Driftime® – designing for good, with people and planet at the forefront.

Cultivating company culture from the inside, out
Driftime® have been listed as a finalist in the UK Company Culture Awards for the category Best Small Agency to Work For!
The UK Company Culture Awards recognise, uplift, and celebrate the organisations which nurture their workforce, reward their staff, and create an environment that proves everyone is valued. Having been listed as a finalist in 2023, we hope to extend our streak into a win, with the winners announced on the 2nd May. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Our Drifteam are the heart of everything Driftime® does, with their wellbeing, personal and professional development, and success at the forefront of every decision we make. This is a celebration of their commitment to cultivate, innovate, drive change, and create impact for people and planet, and a credit to their ongoing hard work and determination.
Congratulations to fellow finalists Hello Earth, WIRO, and all other small agency finalists in the category 🌟

Boom! Another press feature anyone?
From an interview with Agency Hackers to an AI deep-dive with Creative Boom, things have been rather busy at the press desk.
In a new report, Creative Boom discusses AI with Driftime® and a number of other agencies on how design agencies are implementing the use of AI into their daily creative practices. We believe that proactively using AI tools presents a fresh opportunity for digital designers. What were once laborious and time-consuming tasks are now accelerated by tools like Relume.io, a wireframe and sitemap generator that’s marketed as a design “ally” instead of a replacement.
Driftime® co-founder and CCO Abb-d Taiyo was also interviewed by Agency Hackers on Driftime’s horizontal employee structure and how he fosters trust and respect within our team, as well as sharing his thoughts on empowering the cause with the World Advertising Research Center (WARC).
Two dates for your diary…
April is a busy month for Driftime co-founder and CCO Abb-d Taiyo, who will be making an appearance at not one but two events…
The 18th of April sees Abb-d joining The Agency Collective at their Future Proofing Your Agency Conference, this time tackling the all important topic of resilience. Held in the grand epi-centre of ARBORETUM in London, this event promises to be a vital opportunity for learning, networking, and getting to grips with the sticky middle of turning challenges into opportunities, and uncertainties into positive change.
And on the 24th of April, you can expect to see Abb-d deep in thought at the State of Leadership in Technology launch panel, a digital event bringing together the very best of UK tech leaders to discuss recent and rigorous research into the current landscape of leadership across the industry. You’ll also catch the inimitable Ruth Farenga as founder of Conscious Leaders, and enjoy a vibrant Q&A.
