Medialab

Medialab has had a transformative year, growing and developing to lead the independent media sector, and compete with the network agencies.

We’ve continued to make monumental strides with exceptional growth – our fifth consecutive record-breaking year – whilst our team’s grown by 28%, including the addition of exciting new capabilities and skillsets. As an IPA CPD Platinum agency, our people-first culture drives exceptional talent development, demonstrated with over 9,500hours of training completed which helps foster loyalty in our people, exemplified by our 12% voluntary turnover rate. Transparent, innovative, and purpose-driven, we consistently ‘do the right thing’ for our people and our clients. Our everyday commitment to ‘data-driven success’, powered by our marketing intelligence platform, Apollo, ensures our clients’ performance is constantly optimised to deliver positive outcomes, leading to exceptional client retention. Standout work includes our double-gold IPA Effectiveness work for Laithwaites and a Gold DMA award for Alzheimer’s Society. With another year of significant uplift in income (21% YOY) and billings, driven by organic client growth and new business wins across multiple sectors worth £28m in annual billings, it's a year in which we believe Medialab has delivered across the board and deserves to be Media Agency of the Year.
