PHD was launched as the first planning-led media agency in the UK and is currently the most acclaimed media planning and buying agency in the UK.

In 2015, we celebrated our 25th birthday, and we are still renowned for being the UK's most forward-thinking media agency, by challenging convention, breaking new ground in communications thinking and ultimately looking to find a better way in everything we do.

In 2016, PHD was named Agency of the Year by Media Week, Marketing Week, the 4th Best Media Agency in the World by Warc and the UK’s 25th Best Company to work for by The Sunday Times.
