Success Story
Adcopia was founded by Henry Thorne in the latter months of 2023. After 8 years working across the industry – 4 of which were spent out in the UAE – Henry returned to the UK & decided that this was the time to make the transition from employee to business owner. After years of experience in the space, it was his time & this is his story.

Looking Back
The journey that Henry took prior to launching his own agency is one that we know will be very familiar to any recruiter who has considered the idea of starting their own agency. We’ve talked a lot here at Isotope about the catalysts that make exceptional recruiters finally decide to launch their own agencies & one of the biggest, is the penultimate role prior to making that move.
For Henry, his previous role (the one he excelled so much within prior to making the move to Adcopia) really exposed him to what it would require & mean to start & run his own agency. You see like so many, Henry was tasked with building out the creative & marketing offering for his employer from the ground up. They were a new startup agency themselves, trading out in the UAE & they needed someone with the knowledge that Henry had to support.
Always eager for a challenge, Henry jumped at the opportunity & had 3-4 very successful years within the business. His conversations with key members of the Isotope team came out of a realisation that the UAE was not going to be his forever home & as such, a journey back to the UK beckoned along with the question of “what now?”.
The choices were simple – join a reputable agency & help grow out the creative offering for them? Or take the learns, experiences & war wounds he’d picked up over the years & funnel that into his own agency?
It doesn’t take a genius to work out which one he decided upon. & Isotope very grateful for the opportunity to have helped him do just that.
