Thinkmedia

Based in Wythenshawe, Thinkmedia is an independent media buying and marketing consultancy set up by Mark Hodkinson in 2001. It works with businesses and creative agencies across the UK, offering media planning and buying support rather than positioning itself as a traditional digital-only SEO shop. Client testimonials referenced on its site come from sectors including consumer finance and insurance, indicating work with commercial organisations seeking media strategy and planning support alongside marketing consultancy. The agency's core service is media buying and negotiation across a wide range of channels, including television airtime, broadcast sponsorship, radio, press, magazines, posters, cinema, inserts, door drops and digital and mobile media, including PPC, internet banners, Sky Adsmart and social media. Alongside buying, it provides media planning intended to align channel selection with client business and marketing objectives, and a marketing consultancy service covering communications planning and creative development. For creative production, Thinkmedia works with outsourced partners, allowing it to offer a single point of contact for advertising campaigns that require both strategy and production. Its declared services also list SEO, branding, content marketing and web design, positioned alongside this media planning and buying activity for clients requiring broader marketing communications support.
