The Bigwave Story
Our Exeter-based marketing agency was born out of a desire to mutually share our skillsets and make a difference in growing businesses. Guided by our philosophy of starting small and building to a Bigwave, we recognised an opportunity to bring innovation to the Leisure sector. As a result, we became the first national creative growth partner for the UK leisure industry and are now leading the way in this field. With over 200 clients across diverse sectors such as biotech, manufacturing, food & beverage, culture, education, and finance, we continue to expand our reach.

Reaching Our Net 0 Targets
At Bigwave, we have made a commitment to becoming a carbon-neutral company by 2030 as part of our contribution to mitigating global warming. We are actively taking steps towards achieving this goal. As an initial accomplishment, we have successfully reduced our carbon emissions by 25,276 kg CO2e.
One significant action we have taken is the adoption of electric cars, which has played a vital role in minimising our carbon footprint. By transitioning to electric vehicles, we have significantly decreased the emissions associated with our transportation activities. Additionally, we have revised our working policy to include three working from home days. This adjustment helps to minimise the amount of travel required by our employees, thereby reducing our overall carbon emissions.
We are proud of the progress we have made so far, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to further reducing our environmental impact. By striving for carbon neutrality, we aim to contribute to a sustainable future and be part of the solution to address climate change.
