MediaCom UK was established in 1993, and
merged with The Media Business Group plc
in 1998, as part of the Grey Global Group. In
the following years, MediaCom UK grew to
become the biggest media agency in the UK.
In February 2005, the Grey Global Group
was bought by WPP, the world's largest
advertising, communications and research
agency. MediaCom UK is further powered
by Group M, the media-owner facing buying
organisation owned by WPP, with some 29%
of both media marketplaces.
Our brand philosophy is encapsulated in
the endline; 'People First; Better Results',
putting people (consumers, clients and our
own MediaCom UK team) at the centre of
everything we do. By doing this, we believe
we generate the best results - results in terms
of people that love working at MediaCom
(and stay and innovative and creative
communication campaigns and media
initiatives, that really help our clients meet
and surpass their business objectives.
As well as considerable market leverage,
MediaCom UK's strength is born from our
brand values.
Passion
At MediaCom UK, we are committed to our
clients, and to helping them succeed. We're
also passionate about building a talented and
enthusiastic team, and take care to nurture
talent, in order to develop and retain the best
people in the business.
Creativity
We believe that our people are what make
MediaCom such a success. Our team is our
greatest asset. As such, we invest heavily in
staff training to ensure we are employing
the very best in the industry and that they
are constantly motivated and stimulated in
their work. We invest in creativity training
for every member of staff, and encourage our
people to challenge the work that they do and
the way that they do it.
Straight Talking
We encourage our team to speak their minds
honestly at all times, to confront issues and
problems head on, and to never hide behind
marketing jargon. The quick delivery of good
and bad news is equally important, and we
will always give our honest opinion, even if
that isn't always the easiest view to deliver.
Accountability
It's essential we understand and quantify
the contribution our communication plans
make to our clients' business success. We
employ twenty five effectiveness experts
and invest heavily in research and modelling
systems in order to prove the impact of our
campaigns. We're accountable to our clients
and to each other - MediaCom UK is a team
where everyone takes responsibility for their
actions.
Ahead of the Game
The rate of change in the media landscape is
accelerating, and we must keep on top of the
latest developments in "The Age of Dialogue"
if we are to give our clients the best advice.
Everyone in the company is encouraged to
develop digital expertise, and we place great
stock in understanding the impact of the latest
developments in technology.
As a result, our staff retention rate is above
the industry average. By the end of 2008, we
predict the team will have grown to over 550
employees - talented, enthusiastic people
want to work at MediaCom.
