EssenceMediacom Overview: A truly global network with 120 offices and over 10,000 people operating in 96 markets, we are a new type of agency that creates breakthroughs for brands. We discover the breakthroughs that brands need to win. The discoveries, experiences, invention, integration and impact that will make a difference to their business. We are built to keep pace with change, built on data and technology, built for people and algorithms, built around diverse capability, built to test and learn at scale and, crucially, built to evolve.
We're firm believers in building high performance teams (which is why you're reading this!) To do this we need to know our purpose (Demand Attention), stick to our values, and behave in ways that reflect these.

Curious: We are brilliant, creative, insightful thinkers who seek out fresh ideas, to get better everyday.
United: We are better together, and we value each and every member of our EssenceMediacom tribe.
Driven: Through our collective energy, desire and determination, we make things happen.
Keeping the above in mind is how we can produce great work that we all take pride in, but that most importantly achieves our clients' business objectives. We won't always have all the answers, but will strive to maintain an environment where we can openly discuss issues and challenges as a team and collectively find the answers.
