1. Bartle Bogle Hegarty

Bartle Bogle Hegarty are a creative agency obsessed with making your brand more valuable.

We started in London in 1982 and our first ad for Levi’s showed a herd of white sheep looking in one direction and one black sheep looking up and out in the opposite direction. This picture was accompanied by a simple statement that read ‘When the world zigs, zag’.

That belief in difference – zagging – is how we change brands and businesses.

2. Grey London

Grey is a creative company on a mission to make a different shape of work, partnering with the world’s most ambitious brands to play a meaningful role in culture. At its heart, Grey London is an open, vibrant collaboration of over 400 people who look at the world in a different way.

We know that sometimes the best advertising doesn’t look like advertising at all. So, we make products (Volvo Lifepaint), buildings (Lucozade Sports Condition Zones), Apps (Comic Relief Swear Jar) and Christmas albums (Hyrrs not Hymns). Our culture makes this kind of work possible.

We call it Open. Open isn’t about one way of doing things; it’s about doing things in the way that works best for each client. No hierarchy, ego, or that old-school advertising ball and chain, sign off.

Because we believe that none of us are as smart as all of us. For far too long our industry has looked the same: the same people, the same backgrounds, the same way of doing things. We want that to change because we know the more diverse we are, the more powerful our ideas will be.

3. McCann

McCann part of the Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG), is a leading global marketing solutions network with over 20,000 employees united across 100+ countries by a single vision: To help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.

5. Mother
