Not Normal Group Launches
After 21 years as one of the UK’s most respected independents, Recipe is entering a bold new chapter.
This week marks the official launch of Not Normal Group (NNG) - an independent integrated group of specialist agencies brought together by one shared belief: Good People. Great Work.
Founded in 2004 by three friends with no background in advertising, Recipe has always done things differently. Over two decades, it has earned the trust of some of the world’s most iconic brands - Audible, BetMGM, Coca-Cola, New York Bakery, Old Spice and Zurich, while building a reputation for strategic insight, creative excellence, and a people-first culture.
With the launch of NNG, the business evolves into a new structure built to amplify its specialist strengths while preserving the integrated model that’s always set it apart - staying true to its collaborative DNA.
“This business started with three mates, a hunch, and a lot of heart,” says Ed Glover, group CEO of NNG. “For us, the way we work has always mattered as much as the work itself. Not Normal Group is a natural evolution, not a departure. It gives our specialist teams the clarity to shine, without losing what makes us strong: shared values, joined-up thinking, and a belief in great work made by great people.”
