About

One of the UK's largest and most awarded creative network agencies, consistently ranked among the top agencies by billings and creative output

AMV BBDO (Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO) is a leading London-based creative advertising agency and part of the global BBDO network, itself a subsidiary of Omnicom Group. Founded in 1977 by Adrian Abbott, David Mead, and Peter Vickers, the agency has grown to become one of the most celebrated and consistently awarded agencies in the United Kingdom. It is renowned for producing culturally resonant, creatively ambitious campaigns across television, digital, print, and out-of-home media. The agency serves a broad portfolio of major consumer and B2B brands, including long-standing clients such as Guinness, Mars, Pepsi, the Department of Health, and Sainsbury's, among others. AMV BBDO's work spans brand strategy, creative development, integrated communications, and increasingly digital and social media campaigns. Its creative output has earned it numerous Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, IPA Effectiveness Awards, and Campaign Agency of the Year titles over the decades. Within the AdTech and advertising ecosystem, AMV BBDO occupies a premium creative agency position rather than a technology platform role. Its competitive advantage lies in deep strategic insight, creative excellence, and the global resources of the BBDO and Omnicom networks. The agency competes with other top-tier London creative shops and global network agencies for blue-chip client briefs, consistently ranking among the top agencies in the UK by billings and creative reputation.
