We believe there is a better way to grow.

About us

Media Leader Media Agency of the Year 2023 🏆 Wavemaker is a global media agency. We believe there is a better way to grow. By leveraging our deep understanding of audiences, Provocative Planning process and the world’s largest database of purchase data, we shape consumer brand decisions through content media and technology to deliver exceptional growth for our clients.   But exceptional growth requires uncomfortable change.   We know the growth models of today will not serve the future—that what got our clients there today, won’t work tomorrow. That’s why our attitude of positive provocation underpins everything we do.   Positive provocation brings together specialist knowledge, deep insight, strategic thinking and a fearless mindset to challenge what’s gone before and imagine a better way to grow. That means thinking deeply, caring enough to want to do better and refusing to take the easy route.

    Performance that's built to scale 🚀 Congratulations to our Wavemaker UK team who bagged two medals at the Performance Marketing Awards for work that challenged established performance norms - simplifying overly complex setups, giving data and AI clearer signals, and building systems designed to learn and scale.  🥈 Best Social Commerce Campaign for work with E.L.F. BEAUTY 🥉 Best Paid Search Campaign for work with Eurostar The result? Measurable, incremental growth, turning channels like search and social commerce into reliable growth engines rather than short-term optimisation tactics.  Find the full list of winners here 👉 https://ow.ly/eSuK50Z07CH…

    ⚽️ From inspiration to action After the Lionesses’ success, more women and girls wanted to play – creating a powerful wave of interest in football. For AXA, that presented an opportunity. As a health and insurance brand, prevention is a key part of long-term wellbeing, and participation in sport plays a vital role in closing the women’s health gap. Built on the belief that being a woman shouldn’t be a health risk, “Keep On Kicking” focused on turning interest into real participation at grassroots level. Led by Wavemaker UK and in partnership with Bauer Media Group, the Women’s Euros and the Walking Football Association, the campaign used audio, social and editorial to spotlight local clubs, and invite more women and girls to get involved. A strong example of media connecting brand purpose to real-world behaviour change. #CMAWinner #WPPMediaUK

  • ✨ When possibility lights the way Rightmove’s latest chapter of Believe It shows what happens when inspiration meets practicality - turning that flicker of “maybe” into “this could really happen.” It's a relatable visualisation of the moment home-movers realise what’s possible, using an unmistakable green glow to signal belief, confidence and progress. We're bringing this campaign to life across film, OOH, VOD, social and YouTube, ensuring Believe It shows up at the moments that matter most. Great to work on this with you Neverland Creative 💚

  • 👊 5 shortlists at JCDecaux UK's Programmatic DOOH awards    Data-led thinking, standout creative and precision planning continue to set the benchmark for what programmatic DOOH can achieve - and the awards shortlist reflects that.   Our work for P&O Cruises, delivered with the WPP Media solutions team, DOOH.com and The Trade Desk, has been shortlisted across four categories for its smart use of audience signals, dynamic creative and omnichannel integration to turn everyday moments into points of intent.   We're also proud that following a year of experiments, 3D and cross-channel innovation, and a focus on driving real business outcomes over impressions, we've been shortlisted for Team of the Year!   This is the direction programmatic DOOH is heading in, and it’s only going to get more interesting from here.   Check out the full shortlist: https://lnkd.in/emijZb7g

  • What a way to celebrate marathon day! 🏃♀️➡️ 🏃♂️➡️ Danone’s GetPRO campaign brought the London Marathon finish-line buzz to life in the most brilliant way, turning runners’ big moments into big-screen celebrations in near real time. As part of the "Feed Your Progress" campaign, GetPRO’s social channels had been spotlighting competition winners as they trained for the GetPRO LDN Marathon Space. Then, on race day, photographers captured runners as they crossed the finish line and those celebratory images were up on over 100 D6 screens across central London within minutes! This activation also ran at the Brighton Marathon a few weeks earlier, with real-time runner updates lighting up premium OOH sites across the city. The screens are still live in London today, so we can keep cheering on our runners as they head back into work. A huge shout out to the amazing teams at Danone, Wavemaker UK, DOOH.com, WPP Media and WeAreFearless. who made it all happen.

    How do you reach a notoriously ad-verse generation with a Government message? For our latest campaign for Get Into Teaching we needed to connect with 18-24 year olds who scroll past traditional ads – so we met them in their world, inside one of their favourite games, Fortnite. We identified gaming as the key to reaching this audience in an immersive, authentic way so we created "The Pathfinder" - an in-game experience designed to unlock the hidden teacher within the player. Not a classroom simulation, instead, players support NPCs through a series of challenges and along the way discover they already have the skills to teach. The Pathfinder has come to life through “Mr Pickle Fall Guys 2: Student Run” (built by Moonrock) is supported by paid social, influencers, and a Twitch livestream, reaching audiences across the wider gaming ecosystem. Nearly two years in the making - huge congratulations to everyone involved 👏. Ready to play? 🎮 Find "The Pathfinder" here: https://ow.ly/jGok50YOux0 #WPPMediaUK

    Love seeing this one out in the wild👀 As part of Back Market’s Spring campaign, aimed to keep the brand front of mind throughout the year, we rolled out this OOH campaign using high-impact reach and frequency formats - all brought to life with Back Market’s signature wit and personality. The campaign is also running across AV channels, creating even more opportunities to connect with audiences in a distinctive and memorable way. Brilliant work from the WPP Media, Wavemaker and Back Market teams involved👏 #downgradenow
