| Thought leadership | 25% |
| Community | 15% |
Source: Happydance Top EB Voices methodology, version 0.9.
Happydance is a careers website platform built by employer branders. Our founder, Bryan Adams, is on the list because he scored on the same rubric as everyone else, and his entry says so. We also run the Employer Brand Atlas expert directory, which we used only as a starting pool, never as evidence. The full method is on the how we rank the Top EB Voices page.
What great employer branding looks like in 2027
UK employer brand leaders have built some of the most recognised employer brands in the world, and many of them are celebrated for the craft as much as the reach. The common thread is specificity: a promise that sounds like one employer and nobody else. For examples, see our top 10 EVP examples in UK tech and UK financial services EVP examples, or the best careers websites of 2026 for careers websites that put the brand to work.
Learning the craft yourself? The Happydance Academy teaches the employer brand strategy course and the storytelling course used by many of the people on these lists, and it is open to anyone.
