    Who We Are

    Initiative unlocks business growth for the world's most ambitious brands. We believe in the power of media to reshape our industry and orchestrate a brand's entire consumer experience, by balancing both what unites people and what makes them different. When brands unite people in culture, they build Fame, and when brands connect individuals to their unique journeys, they build customer Flow. Initiative builds Fame and Flow for brands like Nike, Amazon, Merck, and LEGO.

    Media responsibility is at the forefront of everything we do, whether it's creating media plans that reflect the diversity of our communities, promote brand safety, and foster sustainability. Our agency celebrates diversity in an inclusive environment where all of our 9,000+ strong talent across 90+ markets feel seen, heard, and valued. Our vision is to create not only a better media company, but also a better media industry, and maybe even a better world.

    DISCIPLINE OVERVIEW: STRATEGY

    Initiative's Strategists generate smart and strategic brand platforms that inspire and inform the conditions needed for each brand to grow. They are the agency's cultural architects, single-minded in both their approach and ambition to create lasting cultural impact vs. singular media moments

    Future-focused and independent, they sit as an entrepreneurial, agile unit of consumer, creative and analytical experts who are cast and deployed according to Brief/skillset vs. Client. They take a holistic 'full world' POV to drive smarter, better and broader 'media' thinking that generates more interesting and rich territories for a brand to explore, working in creative collaboration with all teams - Client Advice & Management, Communications Design and Partnerships - to inspire and inform the creation and design of culturally-led brand experiences.
