AMV was founded over 40 years ago by the trio of David Abbott, Peter Mead and Adrian Vickers with the simple ambition of becoming the best creative agency in the UK.
In striving to become the best agency we have subsequently become the biggest. Twenty-one years at the top of the UK billings league represents the size of the clients we work with, the breadth of our skills and the depth of our relationships.
We work with over 70 brands and have one simple aim with all of them – to create powerful brand platforms that propel them forwards. We firmly believe in the link between creativity and effectiveness. Creativity is at the core of our DNA and we always operate with passion, integrity and civility.
So far in 2018 we have been named UK agency of year at Creative Circle, D&AD, The One Show, The ADC and The Brand Film Festival. On top of this we were named as the number two agency in the world at Cannes.
We believe in the power of building brand platforms based on genuine consumer insights which remain relevant year after year. Big ideas from which our clients can build their brand through any channel, across any country, enabling any business challenge to be tackled and acting as the springboard for brilliant creativity.
We are constantly expanding our capabilities in order to provide better service to our clients and more relevance to their audiences. These include fully integrated creative and production capabilities alongside a world class strategic department and expertise in digital, retail and events. Our consulting, data and analytics arms add robust insight to everything that we do and our own crowdsourced production model opens to the door for the next generation of creators.
AMV is part of the BBDO network, which has 289 offices across 81 countries. For twelve years in a row, BBDO has been ranked the most creative agency network in the world in The Gunn Report.
We pride ourselves on having a disproportionate share of the talent pool and it’s because of our talent that we have also been named ‘The most strategic network in the world’ (WARC 2017), ‘The most effective network in the world’ (Effie 2017) and ‘The most creative network in the world’ (Cannes 2018).
