Magnetic is the UK’s leading innovation and digital design studio. B Corp certified and female-led, we work with startups, governments and organisations in the UK and internationally to create products, services and strategies that drive growth and deliver impact. Our purpose is to design better futures, and we do this by helping people and businesses innovate. Over the past ten years, our partners have included Waitrose, Essex and Dorset Councils, Bupa, Mars Wrigley, Innovate UK, Google, Fulham Football Club and Save The Children.

In 2024, Magnetic joined Newton, combining our design and innovation expertise with Newton’s deep operational experience. Newton is a UK-based consultancy of 600 employees, working across healthcare, government, retail, defence and infrastructure to turn strategic goals into real-world outcomes. Often operating behind the scenes, they play a crucial role in large-scale, multimillion-pound change and transformation programmes. Together with Newton, we share a commitment to delivering lasting impact and value.

​Our most senior innovation consultants often have rich, long-term experience of consulting work across multiple sectors. Some have deep sector experience. They tend to have a large book of contacts, a commercial mindset and the ability to nurture and develop talent at every level. 

​​Some of us are specialists in fields like service design, customer research, foresight, programme management or behavioural science, others are generalists. However, all of our Consultants come up with innovative ideas, solve problems creatively and shape these into logical, coherent solutions that centre around our clients' needs. We synthesise data and insights into actionable recommendations, turning them into viable concepts and prototypes.

​We’ve hired lifetime consultants, people making career changes from industry specialism, and everything in between. We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves. We offer a range of family-friendly, inclusive employment policies and flexible working arrangements.
