About Clemenger BBDO's Media Team:

We unite the scale of a global media network with the soul of a creative agency.

Bold ideas. Seamless execution. Deep partnership— all under one roof.

If we had to distill this into three transformative pillars they would be:

1. Courageous thinking

Our media strategists and planners work shoulder-to-shoulder with creatives — not across silos. This proximity fuels ideas that are more memorable, more effective, and more award-winning. This is why we were named Australia's most awarded agency and Grand Prix winner at the 2025 MFA Awards.

2. Scale with Soul

You get the buying power and reach of Omnicom Media Group, paired with the senior-led service and agility of an independent. It's the best of both worlds — without compromise.

3. Accelerated Growth

By integrating media, creative, and strategy, we eliminate duplication, reduce overheads, and streamline workflows — unlocking more budget and time for bold ideas and better outcomes.

Join Australia's most celebrated Media Team.

In 2025 alone, we took home more MFA's and Effies than any other agency-including 6 MFA's and 4 Effies.
