Overview
Current Global is a global communications agency that puts humanity at the heart of everything we do, from our internal culture rooted in empathy to the way we help clients understand that people want to connect with companies and brands as real and human as they are. We say we’re the human-first agency.
We turned 5 this year and have lots to be proud of. We’ve consistently outperformed the PR market, are one of the fastest-growing mid-sized agency brands globally, a top 60 firm by revenue, and last year (2023) was our most award-winning year ever.

The size, speed and agility of a boutique client experience backed by the resources of one of the industry’s leading communications networks.
Our vision has never been about being the biggest, or even the fastest– growing (that’s a happy by-product). It’s about being the kind of agency that the best talent wants to work for, which truly enables everyone to be their best. Human-first.

CURIOSITY – We cultivate curiosity and challenge convention. Because solving any problem begins by asking the right questions
INCLUSION – We foster teams and environments built on belonging and openness to possibility. Because the best ideas have no bias
