Us
An eclectic bunch of free thinking music lovers, travellers, sporty types, tea drinkers, and festival-goers. Together, we’re an integrated brand communications agency whose independence means we offer the impartial best for our clients.
Every day we apply our strategic, creative and technical expertise to create a meaningful difference for our client’s brands. From integrated campaigns to long- form lead generation programs, we help them reach their goals by directing their brands to become smarter, more desirable and more valuable.
It's all about people
We believe in the importance of culture: you need a deep understanding of it to connect with your audience; you need to live it together to foster work which sparks with creativity.
Our vibrant team includes strategists, creatives and technologists, many joining us from household brands and global agencies. We are equally committed to attracting the brightest and best people in the industry and growing our own. Our annual graduate training scheme has seen some of the brightest young people join our agency and help form our creative and client teams.

Awards
Client satisfaction is what drives us and through their recommendation we won The Drum Network’s Brand Strategy Agency of the Year 2020 and the Independent Agency Purpose Award in 2022. Our award journey began with the Sky TV Startup Awards in 2008 and so far the team have amassed 31 Drum Awards, 7 Chip Shop Awards, 6 Grand Prix and the D&AD pencil, the true mark of creative excellence.
"Strategic and creative
as a given, passionate,
enthusiastic and
driven as a bonus"
Trips
For those who have been with us since the start, they know the importance of bonding on tour. We invest heavily in our team, through training, treats and travel. Nothing helps people work better together than spending four days in an African city. People join our team for the experience and stay for the friendships.

When AUK began
In 2008, Sammy Mansourpour and Amy Stobie launched AgencyUK as a new kind of agency built for an accelerating digital world. Today the nascent technology platforms and channels are more established, but the need for integrated brand communications built on sound digital strategy is stronger than ever.
Over the years Sammy and Amy have assembled a senior management team with some of the most capable strategy, creative and technology practitioners in the business.
