Curious about UM

What does a media agency offer? Buying, planning, content development, Yes & so much more. We do not restrict our capabilities by always staying curious and approaching every challenge with a creative, business solving solution in mind. We go beyond the expected, the traditional, the way things have always been done. UM is building the communications agency of the future.

We’re doing this with a group of multi-skilled UM-ers and a bunch of collaborative clients. UM partners with some of the most regarded, well known marketers and strategic thinkers in the world including Coca-Cola, ExxonMobil, Johnson & Johnson, MasterCard, Microsoft, Sony and L’Oreal.

As part of the Interpublic Group of Companies (IPG), one of the top three holding companies in the world, UM has the ability to tap into a wide range of resourceful services and organizations. We maintain over 150 offices in 130 countries, and employ 3,600 creative minds with our headquarters out of New York City.

While we can give you the same song and dance about our “full spectrum of services” (we know the other guys do), we would rather talk about how we are different. We focus on solving your business issues, developing creative ideas in collaboration with media owners and delivering surprising, measurable ROI results.  Our “Yes &” attitude answers your brief and goes beyond to give you something more than you expected.
