About us
We're a creative agency dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well. A Truth Well Told - our guiding principle since 1912 - underpins everything we do. It ensures everyone has the opportunity to tell their own truths to play a meaningful role in the agency. And it allows us to do what we do best: help brands earn a meaningful role in people’s lives. We’ve delivered joy to the nation with Snoop Dogg for Just Eat and Kevin the Carrot for Aldi, showed the audience “That’s the eBay Way”, unearthed ‘The Gender Pain Gap’ for Reckitt, helped L’Oréal show people that “They’re Worth It” and put a “Priceless” tag on Mastercard. Proudly part of McCann Worldgroup. #ATruthWellTold A peek into our world: instagram.com/mccannlondon

✨ How Deep is Your Love, How High is Your Truth? ✨ by our CSO, Mel Arrow. At McCann London we're continuously exploring the dimensions of truth in brand strategy. In her latest article originally published in Campaign UK, Mel Arrow delves into the nuanced world of Gen Z's social hacks and the power of individuality. From a smart food order at Wagamamas to solo trips to the theatre, Mel highlights how small acts of defiance against societal norms signify a broader trend of empowerment and self-discovery. This exploration into personal truths offers valuable insights for building authentic, resonant brand strategies. "Height is a dimension of truth we, as an industry, don’t often talk about. We talk about depth and resonance, but I believe height and altitude are just as crucial to positioning a brand in the correct way." Thank you, Mel, for sharing with us your thoughts on how the 'height' of truth can elevate brands to new levels without losing personal connection.

🎾🍓 Usama Al-Qassab on creativity, traditions and innovation at Wimbledon 🍓🎾 “We believe that having good, strong creative is part and parcel of what's driving the event’s growth.” Usama Al-Qassab 👏 Charlotte Rawlings from Campaign UK recently interviewed our brilliant marketing client, Usama, about Wimbledon's impressive marketing activity from building fomo via their "Always Like Never Before" creative platform to this year’s official poster by Bella Grace which has graced the streets of Hackney as a giant mural. They also touched on the popular film Challenger, which Usama quickly pointed out has already had an influence on fashion at Wimbledon, coining it the “Zendaya-effect”! "Always Like Never Before is the first creative platform to be maintained for more than one year. “Always” illustrates how Wimbledon is deeply tied to its traditions, treating guests like they’re at a five-star hotel while showering them with Pimm’s, Champagne and, of course, strawberries and cream. “Like Never Before” encompasses how Wimbledon aims to innovate and grow every year." You can read more about Wimbledon's stunts in the US, collaborations with Roblox, thousands of pieces of digital TikTok content and OOH presence on tennis fans’ journeys to the venue & more (!) via the link below. https://lnkd.in/eRd2d594 Thank you Usama and Charlotte ✨ 💚 Wimbledon #TruthWellTold #McCanners McCann Worldgroup

📍 QUEERING THE MAP 📍 WWW. ________ .COM 📍 London and Dublin Pride saw the launch of our new campaign in partnership with Clear Channel UK, which takes pins left by the community on Queering the Map and translates them into unique redirect URLs (back to the original website). "Queering the Map is a community generated counter-mapping platform for digitally archiving LGBTQ2IA+ experience in relation to physical space. Through mapping LGBTQ2IA+ experience in its intersectional permutations, the project works to generate affinities across difference and beyond borders — revealing the ways in which we are intimately connected." From the beautiful, heartbreaking, embarrassing, hilarious and relatable, the URLs act as alternative titles of what Queering the Map is. Here are some incredible photos taken of our OOH spots from London Pride only last weekend 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Special thanks to QTM's founder Lucas LaRochelle, who trusted us to bring QTM into a new world; Brighton and Manchester Pride watch this space! 🩷 Shout out to the Creative masterminds behind this work, Ben Conway Lauryn Raymond Jason Jarvis. #McCanners #TruthWellTold #LondonPride #DublinPride #Advertising #LGBTQIA McCann Worldgroup

"If you can dream and not make dreams your master, if you can meet with triumph and disaster...if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you" ✨ We loved working with Usama Al-Qassab, the Wimbledon team (& their new drone!) and Poppy Delevigne on this audio campaign for Wimbledon. Featuring lines from Rudyard Kipling's beautiful poem, "If". Thank you, Usama. #TruthWellTold #McCanners McCann Worldgroup
Within the Wimbledon clubhouse as you walk towards Centre Court, some of the immortal words from 'If' by Rudyard Kipling are inscribed. They read; "If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same". Which is why this poem made the perfect copy for our audio campaign, superbly performed by Poppy Delevigne and spliced with iconic commentary. Great work by our content and broadcast teams alongside team McCann who combined to record and present the vistas of the All England Club using our new drone for the transformation of audio to video content for our social channels. #poetry, #marketing, #tennis, #sports, #audio #social, #socialmedia, #drone, #Wimbledon.

We're delighted to have been recognised by Campaign UK as the most successful UK agency at turning Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity shortlists into wins, topping several categories this year's show 🦁 We achieved the top conversion rate in four categories, more than any other UK agency; the Entertainment Lions for Gaming (25% conversion), Direct (100%), Brand Experience & Activation (50%), and Dan Wieden Titanium Lions (100%). Our CEO Polly McMorrow reflecting on the tough global competition said, "This year we witnessed never-seen-before wins from countries such as Iceland who won their first ever Lion for Olgerdin and Kazakhstan who won their first gold, for a powerful domestic violence campaign". “Nothing is guaranteed a win (this year, less than 1% got a Grand Prix) and every agency and market will have ‘peaks and troughs’ of success over the years." A special mention to our clients at Xbox who despite this, have won 53 Lions (3 Grand Prix, 1 Titanium, 13 Gold, 19 Silver and 17 Bronze) between 2016 and 2024 🎮👏🦁 Click here to read more: https://lnkd.in/edXeafX6 Thank you Elena Lewis 🔥 #McCanners #TruthWellTold McCann Worldgroup Xbox Game Studios Publishing

🎙️ Leading with Fearless Authenticity, and Wild Drive with Polly McMorrow. Kicking off the week with an inspiring listen from none other than our brilliant CEO, Polly McMorrow and Ollie Scott, Founder of UNKNOWN. Not long before Cannes, Polly sat with Ollie to discuss her role as CEO of McCann London. In this podcast, they touch on: ✨A time that defined who Polly is as a leader today ✨ What you don't see when you look at her LinkedIn profile ✨ What it was about McCann London that excited her ✨ A challenge that Polly is constantly faced with ✨ The 'dumbest' thing she's done that ended up being smart ✨ Advice to her 21-year old self... ...and much more! If there's one quote from Polly McMorrow we love the most it's: “Be bold. Take decisions. Feel things." Above all, our strong culture of fearlessness at McCann London was a highlight of their conversation. If you'd like to know what this means in practice and how Polly's own experiences led to her embedding this at the core of our agency, be sure to tune in via the link below. Find out by listening on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eNMJPwTf Thank you, Ollie Scott 👏 #TruthWellTold #McCanners #Fearlessness #PollyMcMorrow
