Small Axe is a not-for-profit campaigning organisation based in London. We have one goal: to create movements that are progressive, hopeful and powerful, to inspire people to act on the most pressing issues of our time.
We bring together bold creative, communications and organising to run integrated end-to-end campaigns.
We've won billions for schools, raised millions for progressive candidates and causes and mobilised tens of thousands of people to make their voices heard.
Right now we’re working on impactful campaigns with the National Education Union; the International Rescue Committee; on voter registration and more.
We are a small, passionate and collaborative team of campaigners, designers, producers and operations folk.
We collaborate with Freelancers too and are always on the lookout to build our network of photographers, filmmakers, producers, developers.
We’re an agency and a worker’s co-operative, collaborating with a broad range of clients and partners. No day is the same, in any role.
We take a lot of time and care to give people the best chance to shine in the recruitment process, and to help make sure we’re a good fit.
Everything we do is about making hope possible, working hard and smart to win change for a better world.
If you are the big tree,
Let me tell you that:
we are the small axe,
Sharpened ready ready
to cut you down, (well sharp)
Bob Marley
"The Small Axe team are my go-to partners, allies and co-conspirators. They're united by a fierce belief in what they do and know exactly why they do it. They bring energy and intellect to everything, whether planning an action, crafting an email or helping you work out what next. Most of all, they're a brilliant bunch of individuals, who have a strong culture of camaraderie with each other and the people they're partnering with.
It's rare to find people who you want to plan campaigns as much as drink beers with. I particularly appreciate that, despite their high standards, they're never rigid - they're always trying to see things from many different angles. I can guarantee that working at Small Axe will never be boring - and will stretch and challenge you in ways you won't expect."
