Medialam

A London advertising agency

We make ads that work. We also make ads that don’t.

Medialam is an independent creative agency. Founded in 1996 in the back room of a Wandsworth pub. We do brand, advertising, and the occasional crisis-management retainer.

Selected work

Things we made for people with money.

All projects

What we do

Six things, mostly competently.

We are a full-service shop. Strategy, identity, advertising, digital, and the difficult conversations that keep board meetings honest.

  • №01

    Brand strategy

    Naming, positioning, narrative. The slow-running mythology that keeps a client paying for nine years.

  • №02

    Identity & design

    Wordmarks, art direction, design systems. Our reassuringly grown-up Adobe Suite license, on retainer.

  • №03

    Advertising

    Print, film, OOH, audio, social, content. Long-running platforms that survive a client's third CMO.

  • №04

    Digital craft

    Marketing sites, microsites, brand films. The occasional product feature shipped under the brand line item.

  • №05

    Crisis comms

    Increasingly the bulk of our retainer book. Holding statements, deferred-prosecution comms, polite letters of regret.

  • №06

    Hospitality

    Discreetly billed against the project line. The Connaught, 5 Hertford St, Annabel's, a quietly good Greek place in Earlsfield.

What clients say

“The team at Medialam were wonderful. I can’t exactly remember much of the work that they produced but they took us out for some fantastic all-day lunches.”
