The business operates across four segments, each of which describes how we help customers grow in different ways: Customer Insight helps them understand their opportunities and challenges; Customer Engagement optimises their reputation and digital assets; Customer Delivery helps them connect with customers to drive sales; and Business Transformation helps maximize long-term value through corporate positioning, business design and the development of new ventures.

At Next 15, success is underpinned by a people-led approach. Our purpose is to make our customers and our people the best versions of themselves, and our culture is empowering and respectful.

Our goal is to deliver above-market growth. Our revenues have grown by 106% over the last five years and we are aiming to double the size of the business in the next five years. This will be driven by the quality of the businesses, the strength of our customer relationships, the support our model gives them, and strong tech, data and digital tailwinds.
