Why Custard & Co Runs Circles Around the Big Guns

There’s a long-standing myth in the creative industry:
“Bigger means better.”

Let’s set the record straight - size doesn’t guarantee impact.
But you know what does?
Experience. Agility. Strategic Focus.

At Custard & Co, we’re not a sprawling agency buried in layers of red tape and diluted creative.
We’re a lean, expert-led team - and every person in the room knows how to build brands that stand out and deliver results.

Why Being Small Makes Us Fast, Fearless & Focused

Today’s market rewards those who move with purpose and speed.
While giants like WPP, Omnicom, and Publicis Groupe are bogged down by approvals and old-school systems, boutique agencies like ours?
We’re already executing. Already testing. Already winning.

We draw inspiration from the best small teams that disrupted entire industries:

• Glossier: Built a cult beauty brand by leading with content, not mass ads.
• Liquid Death: Rebranded water - yes, water - with bold creative and a tiny team.
• A24: Turned indie filmmaking into a global movement with sharp storytelling and fewer people.

Even Gary Vee and Marie Forleo have proven over and over:

Small teams with high energy drive big results.

Our clients don’t get lost in the system. They get seen, heard, and championed.
