The Marketing Practice, also known as TMP, is a global, business-to-business marketing agency headquartered in Oxfordshire, England, and with offices in London, Munich, and Seattle. The agency works with IT, technology, and professional services companies including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Salesforce, Capgemini, and Telefónica O2, and has a strong focus on driving commercial results from marketing.
The B2B agency was founded by Clive McNamara in 2002 from his front room in Ardington, Oxfordshire. Early clients included Fujitsu and eGain. McNamara was formerly the marketing director at a large IT software company. He created The Marketing Practice after being unable to find one agency that offered a fully integrated B2B marketing solution.
