Martin Agency opens London office
It is undetermined at this time what affect this office will have on local southern accents. We do know the new office will be home to 15-20 employees.
Award winning Shockoe Slip advertising giant The Martin Agency is spreading its’ wings and taking flight to merry ole England. The big news is of course the opening of an office in London but the bigger news that is hinted in the press release below is “an exciting new global assignment for a client”.
The Martin Agency announced today it is officially becoming a part of the London advertising community and is moving into 3 Grosvenor Gardens this month.
“Our London office is part of our strategic growth plan, and we’re delighted that it represents our first expansion into international markets,” said Matt Williams, CEO of The Martin Agency. “Several factors combine to make the timing right for our entry into the London market. We have an exciting new global assignment for a client we hope to be able to announce soon and having a London office will help in our management of both our ManpowerGroup and Education First accounts. We also have several projects in the new business pipeline that have the potential to help us grow this new office quickly.”
The agency is currently in discussions with top candidates for our executive creative director and other management team members to lead the London office. Ian Davidson, Martin’s Managing Director – International, and longtime London resident, will lead the office in the meantime. Additionally, the agency will be relocating award-winning creative director Brian Williams from the Richmond headquarters to London.
“London is obviously one of the world’s great creative markets,” said Joe Alexander, chief creative officer for The Martin Agency. “Personally, I’ve long admired the care and craftsmanship that goes into every aspect of the work here. The design, the type, the copy, the art. It’s something we’ve always prided ourselves on, as well. But the proof will be in the size of our ideas and the quality of the execution. Those are the only things that matter.”
The office address is 3 Grosvenor Gardens, London SW1W 0BD and will accommodate about 15-20 employees.
