The Agency

About Adfabric

Adfabric is a multi-award-winning independent media planning and buying agency, based in London — and one of the IPA's 2026 Beacon Agencies: one of the next generation of UK agencies redefining what growth looks like in a changing market.

We were built on a single belief: that most brands are growing slower than they should — not because the opportunity isn't there, but because the thinking behind their media isn't finding it. Modern media craft is what changes that.

That craft sits on three foundations. T-shaped teams — strategic depth and technical fluency in the same person, with no handoffs and no translation loss between strategy and execution. A one team mentality — we work as an extension of our clients' businesses, not a supplier at arm's length. And a genuinely pioneering approach — joining the best of marketing science with the evolving capabilities of media and tech.

Our clients span Banking, Entertainment, FMCG, Telecoms, Ecommerce and beyond — deliberately broad, because cross-sector thinking is where our competitive edge lives.

As a 100% founder owned and led independent agency, our experience and agility enable us to deliver uncompromised, leading edge solutions that align with our mission to drive outsized impact for our clients. We're changing the way media is done today, delivering game changing results for our clients. Eager to excel and become a future paid media superstar? This could be just the job for you!
