About 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.

Blackpool Tourism Limited
We entered the year with an ambition to create a destination campaign that represented the true scale of the physical and emotional offering of the UK's number 1 seaside resort. We knew we wanted to work with a partner who understood what makes Blackpool magic and, in turn, could bring that magic to life. Edison Media helped us achieve our vision and created not only a visual identity for the This Is Blackpool campaign, but they also ensured millions saw it through expert insight and strategic platform delivery. The team at Edison turned around a full 365, omni-channel campaign whilst up against tight deadlines and with limited budgets all whilst delivering a campaign which has and will continue to deliver incredible results for the resort.

Edison have added real value to all of our social media platforms. Working closely with us to find content gaps to fill, coming to the college once a month to film the content we need and helping us to post the content out. They are a pleasure to work with and have brought new energy, fresh ideas and much needed focus to our social channels. Since working with Edison we have seen an increase of 1000 followers and engagement on all our social platforms. The real change being on TikTok where they have helped us grow our followers significantly. We look forward to continuing to work with Edison to grow our social presence even more and create even more inspiring and engaging content!
