Tech City offers unrivalled opportunities for advertising and marketing professionals and businesses. The area is home to a world-class cluster of advertising and marketing agencies,  renowned for  creating cutting-edge campaigns for domestic and international clients alike. They include Mother, Albion London, Geocast, MWI, POKE, Wieden+Kennedy and Creature, to name just a few. In addition, a host of digital agencies also inhabit the area, including the likes of Smile Machine, Untitled, Grape Digital, Urban Aesthetic and Digit.

Tech City is situated at the heart of London, a global powerhouse for advertising and marketing. Almost two-thirds of international advertising agencies, including the likes of Ogilvy and WPP, have their European headquarters in the UK capital, attracted by London’s multicultural environment and its status as the world’s largest media and entertainment centre. Every creative industry has a major presence in London, from TV and film, to publishing and music.

Advertising agencies based in London and across the UK have produced some of the most recognised and innovative advertisements of the past few years. UK advertising agencies have been extremely successfully globally in the last two decades, winning a string of high-profile awards and effectively overturning US domination in the industry. Total UK advertising expenditure was £14.5 billion in 2009, almost a quarter of which was spent online.

Tech City is a vivid example of the UK’s increasing strength in advertising and other creative industries, particularly digital media. The UK is the largest market outside the US for Google, Facebook and Twitter. The country’s sophisticated consumers are early and enthusiastic adopters of new technology, so it has become an important test market for new ideas.

All this, combined with the area’s vibrant and trendy social scene, is making Tech City an exceptional place for advertising and marketing executives to work and develop their career, as well as an unrivalled location for digital agencies to establish their business.
