🌸💫2024 Summer Party💫🌸

We had the best time dancing the night away this time last week at !

Swipe all the way to the end to see our surprise guests🪩

It was an exciting day for us last week as we welcomed the senior leadership team of our new parent company, Serviceplan Group and Mediaplus Group 🙌

Not only did we hear more about the exciting opportunities that lie ahead as we grow together, but in true German style, we are now the proud owners of our very own personalised Lederhosen. Unfortunately, they were framed, so the fit check will have to wait for now...

🏆 We are still smiling from ear to ear after taking home GOLD for Cross Format and Highly Commended for Visual Craft at the Outdoor Media Awards for our work with , alongside and .creative.studio 😁

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful for the opportunity to work together on such an impactful campaign. Seeing our work recognised by the judges and our industry is hugely rewarding. 🥇

Congratulations to our whole team 👏

We're thrilled to announce that Total Media Group has officially become part of Mediaplus to consolidate into Europe’s largest independent media agency. 🎉

Under the leadership of our new Group CEO, Tom Laranjo, and Chairman Guy Sellers, following the retirement of our long-standing and valued Chair, Mike Sell, we are poised to deliver unparalleled media expertise and innovative behavioural insights to ambitious global brands. With Mediaplus' extensive global footprint, AI and technology capabilities and our unique behavioural planning capabilities, we're ready to take on new challenges and create even more impactful campaigns.

Our successful collaboration since 2016, including projects for clients like BMW, De’Longhi, and E.ON, has demonstrated the immense potential of this partnership. Together, we'll continue to serve our clients with dedication and creativity to deliver sustainable growth.

Join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter!✨

We’re thrilled to announce that we won ESG Team of the Year last night at Company Culture Awards, and received some amazing feedback from the judges💚
“Total Media’s outstanding implementation of B Corp and ESG principles has not only transformed their business practices but also deeply ingrained sustainability into their organisational culture.”

Big shoutout to our amazing team and their unwavering dedication our ESG commitments 🌍

BCorp

Three years ago, we proudly became the first independent media agency to achieve B Corp status – a milestone that continues to shape our commitment to a sustainable future 💚

As we wrap up the final details of our recertification, we wanted to look back at some of the amazing accomplishments our team have already achieved, including:
🌱 Carbon neutrality: Sustaining our carbon neutral status, we’ve offset our scope 3 emissions through Gold Standard’s safe water project in Mozambique.
🌿 Green volunteering day: We held our first green volunteering day, which saw our teams rejuvenate spaces in both London and Manchester
👚 Clothes swap for a cause: Our Midlands office organised a clothes swap day, donating leftover clothes to The Salvation Army
♻️ Recycling: Through leveraging behavioural science heuristics (our bread and butter!), we’ve improved our office recycling rate from 62% to 76%, positively impacting our scope 3 emissions.

Taking our learnings from the past year and continuing to move forward in 2024, we aim to continue to reduce our carbon footprint and look at how we can tackle the industry as a whole.

We hope everyone had a great Pancake Day and Valentines Day❤️ To celebrate (slightly late) we had Kelly’s Occasions come to the office to make fresh crepes for everyone!

✨ We’re ecstatic to see we’ve been shortlisted for Independent Media Agency of the Year at AOTY Awards! 🙌

This achievement is a real team effort and a testament to the dedication and excellence of our amazing team, so a HUGE thank you to all of our people 💛

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for awards night, but we’re already immensely proud! 🥂

Lucasland has returned for its 14th year!🙌🚶
A few weeks ago, 40 TMers braved the rain for an epic 8 mile trek led by Lucas Brown. We topped it off with a delicious meal in a pretty impressive setting, and of course a big night out in Newcastle 😅🍾

Earlier this week some of our TMers spent their charity day with clearing up an area in Stave Hill to help kickstart a project to improve the surrounding area of one of their ponds. From what we’ve heard, it was a proper work out!💪 well done team💚

Following our values day it was time to PARTY! 🌞🎉 so we headed to rooftop for good food, dancing, and even better company! What better way to round off a successful Q2!?💃🥂✨

Last Thursday we relaunched our four core values through an activity-packed day of Blind Football with , puzzle solving, skill challenges and more, all relating to our four values:

Massive congratulations to those at TM who took part in the on the 21st of May! In total, they raised £6,400 in support of and for young Londoners❤️🧡

In honour of 💚Mental Health Awareness Week💚 we created a ‘Messages of Appreciation Board’ where everyone could write something nice about someone they work with.

It is important to be kind and give praise to people at all times, not just during this week but it was a lovely way to lift people’s spirits and brighten their day!

Last week we were lucky enough to have one of the UK’s foremost explorers, Benedict Allen, visit our offices to give an inspirational talk about his many adventures, with a focus on what resilience means to him and how being resilient helped him during his travels.

Benedict is an English writer, explorer, traveller and filmmaker known for his technique of immersion among indigenous peoples. His journeys over 40 years include a first know crossing of the Amazon Basin at its widest, the first to traverse the 1000 mile Namib Desert, and a 6 week lone trek across the Gobi desert with his camels.

It’s safe to say we had a lot of questions to ask and all felt truly inspired by the end of his talk.

Thanks again 🎉
