The Social Element

At The Social Element, our core mission is to make social media 'social' again – a place where genuine human connections thrive. Founded by Tamara Littleton in 2002, at the dawn of social media, our agency was built on the principle of nurturing and growing online communities for brands while ensuring their safety. For over two decades, we've evolved alongside the ever-changing social landscape, helping brands effectively engage with millions of people, fostering rich and valuable relationships that endure. Our journey began with a vision to challenge the conventional agency model, pioneering a distributed workforce that remains innovative in the agency market. This approach allows us to bring together diverse talents and perspectives from across the globe, enriching our creative output and strategic insights.

Our culture is deeply rooted in inclusivity and the power of human values. We believe that diversity unlocks creativity and innovation, bringing a wealth of lived experiences to the forefront. This belief is reflected in our team, which is 73% female with an all-female executive board, and includes significant representation from neurodivergent individuals, those with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, underrepresented ethnic groups, and carers. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone has a voice, feels celebrated, and has the opportunity to shine, grow, and develop. We champion a remote-first working model, currently spanning 39 countries, which not only promotes flexibility and work-life balance but also minimizes our environmental footprint. We are dedicated to making social better, not just for our clients and their audiences, but for the wider digital world, by fostering positive interactions and ensuring online spaces are safe and welcoming for all.
