Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for advertising agencies
Agency turnover ran at 24% across IPA member agencies in 2024, which means roughly one in four desks emptied in a year. Campaign deadlines, media budgets on the line and a pitch culture that treats weekends as optional will do that. Spill helps advertising teams stay: unlimited counselling, same-day availability, therapists in the top 5% of registered counsellors, all for £75 a month across the whole agency.

The pressures adland puts on people
Agency turnover ran at 24% across IPA member agencies in 2024, according to the IPA Agency Census. Pitch culture, campaign deadlines and media budgets on the line create a job where the pressure never really lands, it just moves to the next brief. Small wonder so many people walk.
Considered leaving
64% of advertising and media workers have considered leaving the industry because work harmed their wellbeing. (NABS & Mind)
Stigma persists
35% of agency staff feel unable to discuss mental wellness at work. (NABS All Ears, 2023)
Surging demand for help
Therapy referrals to industry charity NABS rose 50% year-on-year. (NABS, 2022)
What your agency gains with Spill
Replacing an account director or a senior planner is expensive and slow. Spill gives advertising teams a reason to stay well and a reason to stay put, which shows up directly in retention and billable capacity.

All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A private space to decompress after the pitch, the launch or the client call that went sideways, with a fully qualified therapist. Same-day availability including evenings and weekends, booked in a few clicks from Slack, Teams or email.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures agency workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to perfectionism and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
