Posted by
Creative agency 2Heads appears for the first time in The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 listing.
The annual league table ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest growing sales over their latest three years. To be included in the listing, which also features fashion retailer Victoria Beckham, retailer Oak Furniture Land and cycling clothing brand Rapha, 2Heads reported an annual sales growth of 53% over three years.
Buckinghamshire-based 2Heads is a strategic creative agency specialising in exhibition design for global show programs, brand strategy planning and the creation of experiential marketing campaigns. The company was founded in 1983 by exhibition design specialist Pepe Parra. Steadily expanding its global reach the agency now has offices in the UK, USA, France, Dubai and China.
Over the last 18 months 2Heads has bolstered its creative and strategic strength with several senior appointments. In 2014 key hires have included Craig Sciba, Group Creative Director, and Strategic Directors Muriel Holdsworth and Sasha Mueller.
2Heads supports global brands in multiple business sectors. Disney, Airbus Group and Bombardier are part of a client roster that also includes a number of leading financial services brands, Aviation, Gaming, and Media.
Chairman Pepe Parra said: “In recent years we have focused on bringing in some of the smartest and most creative and strategic thinkers in the industry. Working alongside our core offering and enabling us to resolve complex marketing and brand issues for many of our top clients, we are providing branded experiences, immersive 3D environments and interactive showcases across continents. As a result, our clients are increasingly consulting us to work with them on building cohesive brand identities across entire event programmes.”
One of 2Heads’ most recent major projects has been the creation of a multi-sensory brand experience to help Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier launch its latest luxury jet, at the world’s largest business aviation trade show – the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention in Florida.
The 18th annual Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 league table was published on 7 December. A typical Fast Track company is owned and run by entrepreneurs, with between 20 and 500 staff and reporting an average three year sales growth ranging between 50% and 270% per annum, with sales ranging between £5m and £100m.
Sir Richard Branson, of title sponsor Virgin, commented: “This year’s Fast Track 100 is packed full of examples of entrepreneurs taking on many different challenges head-on. Their success is based on real team spirit and it is this togetherness above and beyond any other factor that sets great businesses apart from the also-rans. The Fast Track 100 are testament to that spirit of creativity and camaraderie”.
