Robert Ffitch is our Managing Director and has been with our agency since its inception 21 years ago. We are a communications planning and buying agency with creativity at our core. Our ethos is to Continually Create Difference in everything that we do. We believe that by being progressive, challenging and creative we can inspire ideas that influence change and deliver real business results for our clients.

Our People:

We believe that the best ideas come from the best people. We believe that it is our people and their ideas that set Manning Gottlieb OMD apart. Our ethos of Continually Creating Difference permeates throughout each and every one of us, supported by various initiatives; we are constantly challenging our people to be the most passionate, inspired and creative out there, ensuring in turn, our clients, get the very best service.

Award Winning Work:

Winning top awards across a range of disciplines in 2011 including Digital Effectiveness at the NMA Awards (overall Grand Prix winner and Best Retail Campaign), Creativity at the Cannes Lions Awards, (Gold Media Lion winner) and Media Planning at the Thinkbox TV Planning Awards, (overall Grand Prix winner and Best Integrated Planning Campaign), demonstrates that Manning Gottlieb OMD is at the cutting edge of today’s media agenda. These awards reflect our continued dedication to delivering best in class, innovative and creative work for our clients.

Our Approach:

Our behavioural approach to communications planning unifies all disciplines around the shared view of how influential communication really works. Our approach is based on a study of successful brands – as measured by both brand and business metrics – and what characterises their approach to communications. We believe that this approach allows us to act as a genuine communications planning agency that goes beyond traditional media planning, structuring an increasingly diverse skill set within the agency to work optimally together whilst at the same time proving and quantifying the effectiveness of this approach. Clients that have adopted this approach have seen their ROI almost double.

Our Investment:

With over 220 people, billings of over £350m, and with the buying support of the OPera negotiation team with over £1bn worth of billings (part of the Omnicom Media Group), we have the scale as well as the ideas to help us deliver tangible benefits for our clients in the form of quality, value and discount.
