There’s famous and there’s effective. Agencies are usually one or the other, creating a splash for their clients or driving results. At Grey, we believe in making our clients remarkable and rich with work that is both famous and effective. It’s a deep-seated part of our culture throughout our organically grown global network of like-minded leaders who share a strategic process, a vision and a mission: to focus on our clients’ businesses. The result is Famously Effective work since 1917. This differentiates us from all other agencies and is what unites our network philosophically across the globe. 

Grey is the advertising arm of Grey Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of WPP, the world's largest communications company. In the 54 years since we opened our first office outside the U.S. and created our first global campaign for Revlon — which actually was the first time anyone anywhere created a global campaign — we’ve expanded into 432 majority-owned offices in 96 countries. How we did that is unique to Grey: Rather than buying up international offices to fake our own growth, we systematically opened offices around the world to help satisfy our clients’ bottom lines, and we expanded our marketing disciplines the same way. No force fitting of cultures, but rather an organically grown network wherein everyone knows and like each other and are unified by a single, unifying Famously Effective mantra.
