Hello,
nice to meet you!
All 11 members of the Buff Motion team sat in their Brighton office
Since day one, we’ve tried to build an environment where talented people are supported to grow and create great work that matters together.
Buff was founded in 2014 by Chloe and Tom. 

The wellbeing of our team is super important to us. We want everyone to feel valued, supported and challenged. We put a strong emphasis on personal development, making time for training, coaching, sharpening up our skills – and getting together outside the office.

It all makes the team tighter, and the work stronger.

Our guiding principles:

4. Make share-worthy content.
5. Reflect and improve.
Working at Buff

One of our core beliefs is that a happy team flourishes and produces great work together. We aim to provide a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. As part of this continued focus, we incorporate the following as part of any role with us:

Healthy work-life balance

The company was founded on a desire to strike a good balance between work and home life. So whilst we’re passionate about what we do, it’s important to us that every person on the team leaves the office on time. It’s very rare to see us working into the night or on weekends, but if it happens then we give that time back in lieu.

Open dialogue

Everyone gets direct access to the management team and is encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas. We’re a young, dynamic business; we’re not afraid to make changes if we see the value in trying something new so there’s plenty of opportunity to have an impact.

Personal development focus

We work together to support people’s growth and development. We have a solid review process to regularly reflect on successes and failures. We aim to nurture a safe space to give and receive honest feedback with the goal of continually reflecting and improving.

Fair pay

We keep regular tabs on industry standards when it comes to salary and aim to reward people fairly with regular pay reviews. We’re also registered with the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign and have a workplace pension scheme in place.

Lovely office space

We have a super studio space in the centre of Brighton with plenty of natural light and everything you could want on our doorstep. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach and we’re surrounded by great food and shops.

Other perks

On top of our holiday allowance, we close the studio for between Christmas and New Year to give everyone more time to enjoy with friends and family. We organise regular social events, hold weekly breakfast meetings, and finish early on Fridays for a Show & Tell, and to share work that inspires us.
