Edison Media

Edison Media is a multi-award-winning, globally ranked independent media agency based in Manchester, recognised among the world’s leading independent agencies and working with brands across the UK and internationally.

We plan, buy, create and manage media campaigns across out-of-home, digital, content, and international media, bringing strategy, audience insight, creative, and delivery together within one team.

Our work covers:

• Out-of-home advertising

• Paid search and paid social

• Digital strategy and performance marketing

• International media planning and buying

• Content, creative and production

• Social media management

We work with global brands, public sector organisations, universities, colleges and growing businesses across the UK.

Our clients include JD Sports, Nike, adidas, Manchester City, PUMA, the NHS, Visit Blackpool and the University of Derby.

We have delivered work across the UK and in international markets, including Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid and Berlin, supporting campaigns that have generated millions of pounds in client revenue, tens of thousands of bookings and applications, and audiences in the millions.

Our work has earned national and international recognition across out-of-home, PPC, B2C, brand activation and experiential, including multiple awards from Prolific North and The Drum.

This year, The Drum ranked us 12th in its Indie 100, placing us among the highest-ranked independent agencies globally. We were also the highest-ranked UK agency outside London, the only Manchester agency in the ranking and the only Northern agency in the Top 20.

Our growth has continued alongside the work. Since launching in 2019, our team, client base and the scale of the campaigns we deliver have all grown, while we have remained independently owned and based in Manchester.

We have also been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media & Marketing 2026, alongside recognition within the UK’s Best Workplaces and Best Workplaces for Development rankings. We are still growing, but the principles behind the business remain the same.

We stay close to our clients, take responsibility for the work and judge our media by what it delivers.
