This week marks an important step in the story of Republic of Media and The Freethinking Group.

After 13 years of consistent growth from the efforts of a talented team (of now 80 people!), we’re pleased to share that the business is transitioning to Employee Ownership.

This move reflects something that has been true for a long time: our success is built on the collective effort of our people, and the realisation of potential.

Employee ownership allows us to protect the Freethinking culture we’ve created, strengthen our long-term independence, and ensure that everyone who contributes to our progress, benefits from it. It’s a model that supports sustainable growth, continued investment in our capabilities, and the kind of long-term thinking our clients value.

It’s business as usual for our clients and partners, and everyone at The Freethinking Group remains focused on delivering great solutions in paid media, programmatic and data. Solutions that grow brands and change communities.

There’s plenty of work ahead, and that’s exactly how we like it. We’re looking forward to this next chapter: focused, optimistic, and committed to building the biggest and best marketing services group in the UK.
