Description
Robert White and Stewart Hilton are the founders of ZEAL Creative, winners of Agency of the Year at the 2023 IPM Awards. Since launching in 2014, the duo have elevated ZEAL Creative to their status as one of the UK’s most influential and inspiring agencies, with particular expertise in the FMCG section. From its humble roots, ZEAL Creative now consists of almost 100 employees split between offices in Manchester and London, with a people-first attitude at the heart of their philosophy.   ZEAL’s mission is to build the world’s most recommended agency.  They create campaigns that help some of the world’s biggest brands to inspire and motivate consumers into action. And that’s precisely what they’re renowned for, delivering results for an enviable A-Z of famous brands including Nestle, Carlsberg, ARLA Foods, Suntory, Kellogg’s, McCain, Pringles and many more..   In this episode of Entrepreneurs In The Wild, Robert White and Stewart Hilton join host Ian Millner for an in-depth discussion which charts their back story, the philosophies that underpin their success to date, and their continued ambitions for the company.   The pair take us on an illuminating journey through their experiences, with particular focus on ZEAL’s launch, what makes a successful entrepreneurial business partnership, how to balance continued growth with a strong company culture, and the value of identifying and especially allowing staff to thrive for everyone’s mutual benefit.   Much like host Ian Millner, Robert White and Stewart Hilton are serious about business but share the belief that fun, laughter and enjoying the challenges of the working day are all an important aspect of the experience. As such, the camaraderie between the ZEAL duo is palpable, as is Millner’s respect for all that they have achieved - making this an engaging and entertaining 40-minute listen for anyone involved in or fascinated by the creative business industries.
