BIG’s virtual office operates on the web in real time as BIG’s team visit for updates, documents access, data bases, time sheets and team diaries. The team’s administrative ‘glue’, Esther Kovarik, is in Leeds and operates all administrative, accounting and virtual front line duties using email and BACs to reduce paper consumption as far as possible. BIG directors Ned and Jacky meet once a week to assess and monitor day to day business and forward plan; consultant meetings are held each quarter for a ‘bigger picture’ report of activity and planning.

When you sit down and tell someone your opinion over a pint in the pub you are communicating; just as you are when you complain to a shop assistant, tick a box on a form, answer an online survey or enter a prize draw. Every minute of the day we are communicating with our body language, the spoken and written word, while being persuaded, informed and often alarmed by others.

BIG is virtual; that doesn’t mean we don’t exist. We’re very much in the real world, but our processes, day-to-day communication and information sharing is done online.
Now, this has many advantages to our experts and more importantly to our clients. All this virtuous virtuality means a highly cost effective alternative to housing and heating our team in bricks and mortar, a saving that goes to ensure our fees are highly competitive for the kind of creative talent on offer.
