London, UK. May 2nd, 2025 — Exposure Ninja CEO Charlie Marchant has been invited to speak at the House of Lords this week as part of a national inquiry into the future of remote and hybrid working in the UK. The invitation follows the digital marketing agency’s detailed submission to the Call for Evidence on the challenges and opportunities of flexible working models.

Exposure Ninja, a fully remote digital marketing agency since its inception in 2011, has long championed flexible work as a driver of inclusivity, productivity, and economic growth. In the submission, the agency shared what it learned from over a decade of successful remote operations, including award-winning policies on flexible working and company culture.
The submission highlighted the agency’s 88% employee retention rate, strong diversity metrics, and how structured remote-first policies have supported both profitable growth and staff wellbeing.
“I’m super excited about this given remote and flexible working is a topic we’re all so passionate about and have built a successful agency together as a fully remote team,” said Charlie Marchant. “The perspective we share will be used as part of recommendations made to the government on the future development of remote and hybrid working.”
As part of the inquiry, Charlie Marchant joined a panel of UK employers on the 28th of April at the Palace of Westminster to share insights on various aspects of remote and hybrid working, including management techniques for remote teams, the scalability of remote-first models, how remote work can address regional inequalities, and support working parents and carers. The panel’s evidence will help inform government policy and shape the UK’s long-term remote and hybrid work strategy.
When asked for policy recommendations, Charlie Marchant urged lawmakers to adopt a more balanced view of flexible work: “The government should encourage remote work where it works. There is a lot of implication that people may take advantage of remote systems. This idea doesn’t match our experience. Actually, the vast majority of people who work remotely want to do excellent work, be a part of the workforce, and contribute to the economy, and I think it’s important that they have the opportunity to do so.”
She also called for clear boundaries to be set between work and home life: “I would also encourage a Right To Disconnect policy, particularly for employers who work majority remote or hybrid. Having guidelines for employers around when the work day starts and ends will help avoid any digital seepage and protect employee productivity and wellbeing.”

The agency’s work approach was recently recognised at the 2024 Global Agency Awards, where it won Best Flexible Working Policy and Best Culture Transformation Initiative.
