Founder and Managing Director of Undertow Media, Greer Bland said: "Our business has been largely built on word-of-mouth referrals, and despite the obvious environmental challenges of the last couple of years, we’ve had incredible client traction with new and established brands coming through like Better Beer & The Inspired Unemployed, Dulux and Pic’s."

"Our current crew is the best we’ve ever had, and I am excited about adding even more clever communicators to our PR and social teams."
