Why are we part of the Tribe? 

"I worked for WPP group for 14 years, now after more than 6 years with Tribe Global, the value we are getting is much bigger across many fronts. 1) Knowledge transfer- speed & quality of responses, especially during pitches. 2) Diversity of responses from different agencies / different approaches. 3) Support during critical events. Covid-19 was a great example where we have seen many POVs on crisis management during the pandemic which helped shape our offering and adapt accordingly."
