Whatever the challenge, AMV shape their solution accordingly and use whichever media forms are the best to achieve the objective – digital, experiential, print or broadcast.
AMV is part of the [[BBDO] network, the third largest Agency network in the world, with 287 offices across 79 countries. With BBDO, AMV is in good company. BBDO is consistently ranked in the Gunn Report (the major independent audit of creative achievement) as the most successful creative network in the world. BBDO is part of the Omnicom Group.
History
Peter Mead and Adrian Vickers had founded Mead Davies & Vickers. David Abbott, previously of DDB Worldwide, joined them in 1979 to form Abbott Mead Vickers.
Long established as the UK's biggest advertising agency, AMV became the local outpost for the US network BBDO in 1991, via a minority stake. BBDO acquired the remaining shares in 1998, and it was renamed Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO.
