Alexander Birch

CEO and Founder

“We’re not a solo act or a large multinational agency with high overheads. Instead, we’re a collective of seasoned professionals, I bring over 20 years of digital agency experience and my little black book of trusted global talent.

We unite that talent worldwide to serve clients seeking beyond what a soloist can offer without the complexity and cost of large agencies. Our ideal clients are those driven to do outstanding work and make a positive impact.”

3 Things You Didn't Know About Polar London: 1. The Origins: Alex Birch, our CEO and Founder, initially incorporated Polar London in 2013. Despite its early beginnings, the agency remained dormant for nearly 6 years while Alex ended up worked closely with Google as their Global Head of Production. Polar officially relaunched in January 2020, just two months before the global pandemic hit, leaving Alex to work alone from the nursery at home for the first year! 2. Global Presence: Remote first, we've expanded beyond our initial boundaries and now boast studio spaces in Ho Chi Minh, Bangladesh, and London - Hackney Wick as our HQ. Each location is home to a diverse mix of talent, already delivering outstanding agency support and collaboration with our existing clients. 3. Industry Recognition: In the past three years, over six top-ranking agencies have sought to collaborate with Polar, drawn by our unique blend of creative and technical expertise and agency experience. We're becoming the industry's best-kept secret. What’s Next for Polar? We're honing our focus on becoming specialists in all things related to websites—UX, design, and build. This area has quickly become our core strength, and we believe our blend of creative understanding, technical application, and extensive global network of industry experts, sets us apart.

Behind every great man is a great woman! But in our Founders case @alex_birch2, there are three! ''I'm reminded of the strength and support I receive daily from the incredible women in my life. They are the heartbeat of our home, my constant inspiration. Their resilience drive me to be better in all aspects of life, especially as we navigate the world of challenges of running your own agency Polar London . As we celebrate Valentine's Day, I'm grateful for the love that powers me through every late night, every tough decision, and every success we achieve together. To my wonderful wife and our beautiful daughters, you are my greatest accomplishment.'' #ValentinesDay #FamilyLove #Gratitude #BehindEveryGreatMan
