Unlike other small firms that specialise in one sector, ThinkingLinking works across a range of industries, and provides a demanding yet rewarding environment in which every action is subjected to logic and strategy. Logic and strategic thinking are a core part of our company culture, and are the foundation for how our team operates internally and externally.
