Summary of the year so far: "2013 has been a good year so far. Under new CEO Mark Creighton, the agency has won £27m in new business including Dyson, RAC, and ‘Let There Be Beer’. We were also a key contributor to the formation of WPP Plus. In this rapidly changing media landscape - driven by innovation in technology, increasing data intelligence and a collaborative and creative culture – we believe that brands need to be both adaptive and inventive. So we’ve put our money where our mouth is and produced truly adaptive and inventive work for our clients such as Kleenex, 3 and Lynx. We were the only UK media agency to win a Media Lions Cannes Gold for our adaptive planning work with Kleenex. We were also awarded Most Connected Agency at the Mediatel Connies and were ranked one of the Sunday Times ‘Best Companies to Work For’. Great so far, but more to come. "
