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.
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.
