About Us

The Surgery is a communications agency blending design, digital and internal communications in a way that just makes sense. With a range of well known clients, from Rolls Royce Motor Cars to Penguin books, we are the agency you probably should have heard of.

Our team of creative sparks, digital wizards and IC gurus come together to deliver a service that we feel is unique. Take us purely as a design agency, a digital agency or an internal comms agency, and we are award winners in each field; but combine them and you get something special. Add a passion for innovation grounded in experience as well as design thinking, and the results can often be transformational.

We’ll understand your brand because we’ve built them. We know the benefits of digital marketing because we’ve experienced them. And we’ll solve your IC problems because our team used to work that side of the client/agency fence.

Talk to us, you’ll find our approach refreshing.
