Overview

## What they do

Written from their own pages and the public record, checked 3 September 2026.

People Made is a culture and employer branding consultancy headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with New York and Singapore offices. Its size band is 11 to 50 (LinkedIn, read 2026-09-03). People Made Group Limited owns it; Black Sun Limited acquired that parent on 24 May 2022. It sits here under employer branding.

Our take

The work is research first and consultancy shaped. Meta ran a culture study with more than 500 participants before any EVP was written. Currys interviewed shop floor, warehouse and call centre staff and then published the numbers, which almost nobody in this category does. The output is strategy, messaging frameworks, brand identity and activation planning. It is not a campaign shop. There is no careers site build, no recruitment advertising, no media buying and no video service published anywhere on the site. If you need the EVP taken to market as paid media, that is a second supplier.

Before you brief them

## Questions to ask them

The gaps this profile cannot close for you.

1. 01The site publishes no campaign, careers site or media service. Ask who takes the EVP to market once it is written, and whether People Made stays involved.
2. 02The firm has been owned by Black Sun since May 2022 and the group has a new group chief executive. Ask which people are dedicated to People Made and which are shared across the group.
3. 03The strongest results, at Currys, are twelve month client measurements. Ask what People Made measures on a normal engagement and who collects it.
