Today, we’re celebrating Ecrubox—an agency that dares to be different. Before starting this journey, I was on the client side, hiring (and firing) agencies that felt more invested in the retainer than the brand. Fast forward seven years, and I’m proud to say that Ecrubox is the kind of agency I’d choose every time. We’re building partnerships that last and brands with authenticity, meaning and incredible potential." -Heather Horton, Founder and CEO of Ecrubox

To mark the BIG day we are giving away a £100 Threshers voucher (a handy client to have on celebration days!) Comment with for your chance to win.

*We will select a lucky follower at random on Thursday 14th November. You must be 18 or over to enter. This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with META.

Happy 1st Ecruversary, Axelle 🥳

We have loved watching you thrive since starting with us and we can't wait to see the amazing work you continue to do for our clients. 👏

"Just like that a year at Ecrubox has passed by. I still remember my first day, being welcomed with open arms, and to this day I still feel embraced as each person here is looked out for no matter how long they've been here. Coming straight out of university I couldn’t recommend this place enough for learning, support and overall self-growth:star2:. What a year it has been and I’m looking forward to the next, as I’m certain it’ll be even better. 🧡" - Axelle

During our recent marketing and development days, we focused on the link between resilience and our ability to thrive as a team. While the road ahead may appear smooth, every team will encounter bumps. It’s how we navigate those challenges and embrace imperfections that strengthens both our personal and collective resilience.

We shared our own stories about resilience, talking about what it means to each of us and how we can keep building this important skill. We then discussed the five pillars of resilience: problem-solving, self-esteem, learning from mistakes, emotional regulation, and social connection, and discussed how these can help us grow. This experience encouraged us to open up and helped us connect as a team.

To symbolise our resilience, we tried the art of Kintsugi - breaking and remaking a pot to represent the beauty in overcoming adversity. The pots we created now serve as lasting reminders that, just like the gold-filled cracks, our struggles and resilience make us stronger and more connected.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on resilience, what does it mean to you?

Huge congrats to Charlie!

Ecrubox Digital is proud to announce its partnership with Clevelli Bay, founded by Charlie Sefton, who successfully secured a Start Up Loan from the British Business Bank to bring her eco-friendly cleaning brand to life. Over the course of a year, Ecrubox worked closely with Charlie, recognising the authenticity of her founder story and using their Soul of Brand method to develop the brand’s creative potential.

Clevelli Bay tackles the eco-cleaning market with innovative refills and a unique, ocean-inspired design. The product, made from 100% Prevented Ocean Plastic, features multi-use bottles and environmentally friendly packaging, delivering measurable green credentials. This complements Ecrubox’s wider e-commerce client portfolio, including Skydiamond, Co-op Mobile & Energy, and Reluxe, all leaders in sustainability.

“We love working with female founders like Charlie,” said Alex Sass, Head of Magic at Ecrubox. “Charlie is the perfect client—engaging, laser-focused, and driven. It was a pleasure to help bring this unique product to life, which not only prevents tonnes of plastic from entering the ocean but is also something beautiful that people will want to own.”

Ecrubox’s passion for supporting female entrepreneurs extends through its Female Founders Network, a seasonal gathering in London that brings together visionary female leaders to share ideas and foster growth.

Charlie (Founder & CEO) “Clevelli Bay wouldn’t be where it is today without Ecrubox. I’ve never encountered another branding and strategy company like them—they seemed to read my mind and my story, crafting a brand that feels uniquely and authentically me. Even the recent website they built for me was infused with ideas so deeply connected to who I am and what Clevelli Bay represents, I was amazed. Their creativity is sharp, their research thorough, and their team brings a wealth of experience. Plus, they’ve made the whole process enjoyable, consistently going above and beyond with client support. Thank you, Ecrubox!”

Yesterday afternoon, our talented Creative Director, Lucy, led the team through an insightful “On Camera” session! 🎥

With years of experience in front of the camera—from TV shows and live TV selling to Instagram Lives—Lucy has mastered the art of capturing content that feels both authentic and professional.

Given that so much of our work and meetings are held online, it’s crucial for us to refine our delivery skills, not just for our clients but also for effective remote collaboration.

It was an engaging session that sparked valuable discussions on boosting confidence, authority, and empathy in virtual meetings and on camera.

Huge thanks again, Lucy! 🧡

We’re still loving YuLife over here at Ecrubox, even more so now the sun is shining ☀️ We have been getting into the Olympic spirit and July has seen a month of challenges:

🏃🏻‍♀️ Master of Movement - YuLife’s annual walking challenge, giving us all individual step goals for the month.
👟 Step-athlon - The aim is to complete two short strolls, two brisk walks, 2 long walks and walk 50k steps in 10 days.
🥄 Egg and Spoon Race - A throwback to school sports days! This one consisted of completing workouts, meditation and other wellbeing activities, all included on the app.

Oh and we also have double and triple points days meaning we can earn even extra YuCoin ⚡ We’ve still got more challenges to come in August and the team are loving it!

Brands and sponsors have long been a part of the Olympic Games. Today in Paris, their teams will be looking forward to a spectacle perhaps less concerned with the logistical barriers of previous ceremonies. Whilst the world is certainly not a place lacking troubles, we remember the uncertainty and limitations Covid-19 brought to Tokyo and the political storms of the previous Winter Olympics.

With the athletes themselves the absolute stars of the Games, sponsors play a role in the funding, infrastructure, technology, and environment in which the Olympics play out, both in Paris and across the world. Airbnb have backed the organisation since 2019 for example, with an obvious but somewhat contentious role in accommodating the massive influx of visitors. It will be interesting to see how they balance their involvement against rising European frustrations. Their listing on the official Olympic Games website is keen to point out how they provide “economically empowering, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable” wins.

Less contentious logos might be those of Orange, Omega (official timekeeper) and Panasonic. The latter providing digital audio/video equipment to the stadium itself. The global audience will be learning more about the French brands taking part in the circus, including Carrefour, Groupe BPCE and Sanofi. Decathlon, the world’s largest sporting goods store, will be reminding us of their French roots, despite now being a global name with more than 2000 stores worldwide. Founded by Michel Leclercq in 1976, Decathlon started with a store in Lille, France.

Keen to show their product more than their name perhaps, Airweave (Japanese mattress innovator) might be one to look out for on social media. The exploits of participants in the Olympic Village always capture a wry smile and Tom Daley (leading Team GB down the River Seine with Helen Glover this afternoon) has already been posting about the stability of his bed. Whilst as the longest standing partner, it’s Coca-Cola who will be most likely to feature the actual logos of the games on their worldwide products.

A quick poll in the office sees our team hyped up for the Olympics in Paris with the gymnastics, diving, athletics and weightlifting most in demand for screentime at HQ and Competition climbing the most highly anticipated for “must watch” status.

Ecrubox sends love and support to everyone taking part! 🧡

Today, we had our monthly Marketing Client Clinic 👩🏻‍🏫

Each month, we dedicate a morning to gather in the playroom for a collaborative session. During this time, we discuss each client, review what's going well and identify necessary changes.

Today's theme was "Pivot or Adapt." We explored iconic brand pivots, from McDonald's to Old Spice, to spark creativity before brainstorming potential pivots for our clients.

We categorised these ideas into small adaptations that can be implemented soon, and significant brand pivots, assuming no budget constraints.
We highly value these sessions as they allow us to step away from our daily strategies and think more creatively.

Often, our wildest ideas inspire several actionable changes to drive results.
