Our take
Founded in 2009, Reason Digital is a tech company focused on social enterprise, developing digital solutions for charities and organisations that aim to change lives for the better. From web design and app building to digital strategy consultancy, Reason Digital covers many of the bases that a burgeoning charity, educational institution, or social enterprise group needs to raise awareness and funds.
Rather than focusing on monetisation, the company acts more like a charity in its focus on the improvement of lives over financial viability. To those ends, Reason Digital was seed funded by Social Tech Trust in 2014 but since then has kept its head above water independently.
In 2019, Reason Digital entered a new period of growth and development by adding several new board members to its team. The success of the company thus far is exemplified by the weight of the new appointments, including legal experts in media, a general counsel for Bloomberg LP, and a global strategist for HSBC.

As a non-profit, we only work with charity or for good/non-profit clients. You know that every project you work on will really help a charity or their end users. I've worked for domestic abuse causes, medical conditions, the environment and more!

Every employee has their own story to tell from where they started off their career, to the point of their current position. Management has been very inclusive in building the teams which has created a culture that matches the company values.

The management team are definitely the most conscientious and genuinely supportive that I have worked with. They treat staff as people not commodities and want to give employees the space to do good work.

Each month the great work of a team member is not only recognised but celebrated. This is peer voted and so it feels so nice to have recognition from other members of the team.
