Top 100 marketing agencies outside London 2008 (1-30)

2 BIGMOUTHMEDIA

Clients won over last 12 months: Gulf Air, Samsung, Joost, BBC Earth, Liverpool Victoria, Lloyds TSB, Philips, BT Business, British Airways, Hewlett Packard, Europcar, Guinness World Records & Lloyds Pharmacy Key clients: Adidas, British Airways, Arcadia Group, Barclays, Austrian Airlines, Autotrader, Barclays, BP Castrol, Boots the Chemist, Mexx Europe, Bradford & Bingley, BSkyB, Calvin Klein, CNN, Co-op, Dorling Kindersley, Early Learning Centre, Euler Hermes, Farrow Ball, Financial Times, Gala Coral Group, Galeries Lafayette, H Samuel, Harley Medical Group, Hilton Corporation, ITV, Jaques Vert, Jumeirah, Kuoni, Loot, Marks and Spencer Money, Mirror Group, MTV, Northern Rock, Opodo, Radisson SAS, Rentokil, Sage, Skype, Sport Relief, Stena Line, Tesco, &Virgin Media. The past year has been a tremendously busy year for Bigmouthmedia, we’ve opened a couple of new offices and have been working hard to integrate every part of the business. There are a lot more bigmouths now than there were this time last year, and finding the right employees isn’t easy. We have a unique culture at bigmouthmedia and it only takes one misguided appointment to upset the balance. It’s really important that our bigmouths are happy, healthy and feel appreciated - they’re the reason we’re so successful after all. We put a lot of effort into making sure that we select the right candidates - if they can’t work hard and party hard then bigmouthmedia probably isn’t for them! We’ve been lucky enough to have a couple of real industry stalwarts join us this year including former Managing Director of Yahoo! Search Marketing Germany Isabell Wagner, and International Sales & Marketing Director David Hardy. We also have a few exciting new faces whose appointments will be revealed shortly. The economic downturn has affected everyone this year, and we’re no different. There’s two basic ways you can react. You can either panic or get ready to meet the challenge head on. While other industries were talking the planet into recession, we did our best to accentuate the positives. Now that the time for blind optimism is well and truly over, the industry has to get real about the recession. There’s a lot of marketers out there still preaching that budgets aren’t going to be slashed and that everything’s fine and I’m sorry to say it, but they’re just plain wrong. The accelerating downturn is already having an impact on nearly every company out there and if they don’t want it to worsen, people are going to have to pull their heads out of the sand. Bigmouthmedia has come out fighting. We’ve come up solutions for clients bitten by the crunch to prove to them – in pounds and pence – that the money they spend on our services is earning them a fantastic rate of return. At the end of the day, no businessperson worth their salt is going to abandon a relationship that makes them money. We make the argument that spending the same budget more wisely is the way ahead. We are looking towards another year of growth in 2009 with several important acquisitions in the coming months and new offices on the horizons. Watch this space….

3 BD NETWORK

Clients won over last 12 months: ITV, Cineworld, Confused.com, Stoneridge Electronics [Europe] & Scottish Enterprise. Key clients: Coca-Cola, Orange, Tesco, eBay, Norwich Union/Aviva, VisitScotland, Arla Foods, Diageo, InBev, Peugeot & Nintendo. BD has doubled its turnover in three years and we now have over 200 permanent staff across the UK. We decided to rebrand the agency to reflect our unique culture of collaboration by not having one agency logo, but a self created logo for every member of staff. This reflects the role everyone in our agency team has to play in delivering a huge variety of great work, for a very diverse client base. We are one agency across two locations and share clients across our UK network. Managing the growth while maintaining our reputation for big, creative ideas and excellence in client service. To continue to deliver commercially focused, integrated campaigns for clients operating in increasingly challenging markets.

4 MEDIAVEST MANCHESTER

Clients won over last 12 months: London Midland Railway, Mamas & Papas, Vote Yes (Manchester Congestion Charge), Conqueror, Eat Natural, DAMAC, E.ON (search) & Jersey Choice. Key clients: Land of Leather, Barratt Developments, Thomas Cook, JD Williams & Gala Coral Group. In 2008 MediaVest established our SEO division to sit inside MVi, our digital specialist, headed by Jon Myers. It has already had a successful year. With a client base which is heavy in retail, financial services and home building, the credit crunch has already presented us with some major challenges. Against this backdrop, our progress this year has been strong. Increases in both turnover and profit have been fuelled by excellent client retention and a steady new business effort. 2008 has been an unspectacular but solid year, and we are anticipating 2009 to be a difficult year, so our goals are quite simple, ensure we maintain our excellent client service record, sprinkle in a few new business wins and ride the storm out.

5 TDMG (INC JDA)

Clients won over last 12 months: Wateraid, Cats Protection League, Tombola, Amplifon, Action for Blind, Oxfam, Reader’s Digest, Associated Newspapers & Damart. Key clients: Association of International Cancer Research (AICR), International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), Swinton Insurance, Dignity, Age Concern, HBOS, Tombola, RSPCA, Oxfam, RNLI, National Trust & Skipton Building Society. No. To make sure we have the right structure and financial controls to achieve budgets, which we have done successfully. To meet our profitability and growth targets.

6 BRILLIANT INDEPENDENT MEDIA

Clients won over last 12 months: Aquasoothe, Blockbuster, Club Med, Cool Cardz, Devere Hotels, DHL (HR Comms), Go3 Foods, Peel Airports, Maplin Electronics, Pontins Holidays, Propertyfinder.com, Reg Vardy plc, Road Angel & YourFloors.co.uk. Key clients: DFS, ASDA, Cattles, DVLA, Thomas Sanderson: Carpetright, Netflights, Ancestry.co.uk, Club Med, TJ Hughes & Subaru. In 2006 Brilliant conducted a management buy-in, where 42% of equity was transferred to seven key directors, hence securing both our key senior talent, and the future independent status of the agency. We opened a new office in Birmingham in Nov 07, to compliment our existing Leeds and Manchester teams. In October this year we created the new role of Head of Business Development to drive a more strategic approach to new business across the company. We have had a long consistent period of growth over the last 5-10 years, and in order to sustain this level of growth we are finding that we need to compete more and more against London-based network agencies. This in itself is not problematic as we are finding that our passion, high levels of service and honest, down to earth media advice is increasingly striking a chord with numerous clients, however it has meant that we need to step up our new business effort and look at new strategies to enable us to get on those pitch-lists in the first place. The other issue we are facing in the current climate is of course that of credit insurance. While in many cases we are able to find a way to work around current financial pressures, we are finding ever increasing occurrences of having to turn good business away due to lack of financial protection. To be the leading media specialist in the North of England; To increase billings and increase our pitch conversion rate; To further develop our core competencies in Direct Response and Retail; To develop our strategic planning and econometric modeling offering; To maintain our independence; To maintain our Investors in People status; To continue to hire the best people through a rigorous and formal selection process

7 MEDIACOM NORTH

Clients won over last 12 months: Home Form (£15m), The Skills Centre (£5m), Cruise 118 (£2m), The Wesleyan (£3m) & The Langham Hotel (£1m). Key clients: All our clients are key. We recently refurbished our offices & restructured the agency to fully integrate around a rapidly growing digital hub. Other that than this, we have kept our staff levels at around 50. The repercussions of the credit crunch have been unavoidable, and with this has come an increased requirement for accountability from clients. More of our planning and buying is being audited, which fortunately plays to our strengths, given our group buying power and transparency. Commercially, we expect to grow again in 2009, albeit not at 2008’s rate. We’ll be focussing on our core areas of strength - retail, travel, DR, finance, and online - and looking to develop into market sectors where our skill-set offers value, but in which we’re currently under-represented. Staff-wise, we’ll be looking to continue to invest in training to develop our latest crop of graduate talent, and ensure our account teams continue to offer the high levels of service we’re renowned for. And, of course, to produce smart, insightful and best value media plans for all our clients.

Key clients: Niagara Healthcare, Village Hotels, Marie Stopes International, Otto, Euro Car Parts & NWF. Appointed Account Director, Nicole Woodley, to the Board.

We can do this by delivering accountable advertising proposals to clients and also seeking out and converting new business opportunities, whilst maintaining the high quality of client service we have become known for.

The biggest challenge, and achievement, has been dealing with the sudden & uncontrollable decline in the economic outlook and the uncertainty that this has caused. We have been fortunate that our colleagues across the business have been wholly supportive of our need to stabilise costs and conserve cash. We are also fortunate to work with a number of Clients who are as keen as us to acquire market share whilst their competitors make short-term savings.

We also appointed Simon Cox as new Head of Digital, following Ian West’s retirement in August. Simon’s influence and input has had an almost immediate effect on our digital business which, like PR, is seeing steady growth. One of the main challenges for us in 2008 was to address our PR and Digital offerings, with a view to developing our business in these two areas. We’re obviously aware that PR and digital marketing are both growth areas in general, and could see the potential for PR/digital to contribute a lot more to our overall business in line our advertising and design output. Firstly, consolidation - look after our existing customers, maintain high levels of service and look for cross-selling opportunities/incremental growth. Secondly, intensify our new business efforts in order to increase our client base and client sector base [so as not to rely to heavily on our bigger spending customers], focussing as much as possible on the few ‘recession-proof’ markets still around.
