Creative Connections

Creative Connections is a specialist talent agency for the creative industry, built to work differently by founders Helen Kimber and Samantha Peace. Both experienced headhunters with backgrounds at renowned creative agencies including TBWA and RKCR/Y&R, they bring first-hand perspective from inside creative businesses and recruitment operations. Creative Connections offers bespoke, flexible recruitment solutions that move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, plugging in wherever needed through end-to-end hiring, internal talent team support, or targeted assistance with specific briefs. The company recruits across client service, strategy, business development, marketing and innovation roles for both creative agencies and in-house teams.

Creative Connections specialises exclusively in the creative industry, serving advertising agencies, creative consultancies, and brands seeking creative talent. The company recruits from entry level through to leadership positions, championing diverse, non-linear career paths and working as long-term partners to talent across every career stage. Their service offerings include contingency recruitment, search services for senior and confidential roles, retainer and embedded talent support for scaling businesses, and bespoke flat-fee products allowing clients to select support at any stage of the recruitment process.

Based in London, Creative Connections operates within the UK creative sector, building relationships with top London agencies and maintaining an extensive industry network. The company differentiates itself through genuine industry expertise, considered candidate matching based on personality and career aspirations, and honest career guidance for both candidates and clients. Their approach prioritises cultural alignment and diversity in thinking, connecting culturally attuned professionals with companies that value creativity and innovation.
