About us
We are dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well, because we believe when a truth is told well, things change for the better. Fuelled by an obsession with truth and the richness of a connected network, our work lives on the edge of mainstream culture, building enduring brands, growing businesses, and giving our people a platform to grow. We've delivered joy with a little help from Snoop Dog, Katy Perry, Xtina, and Latto for 'Did Somebody Say Just Eat', helped L'Oréal show people 'They're Worth It', given everyone access to great quality food with Kevin the Carrot for Aldi, and put a 'Priceless' tag on Mastercard, to name a few. We're proudly part of the McCann Worldgroup global network.
