Building The Media Image –
Proud Milestones

Founded by Google and DoubleClick Veteran

Recognizing the surge in Google Ads adoption, Grant Macfarlane launches The Media Image to accelerate client growth through outcome-driven performance media and bespoke consultancy.

Flagship Wins Ignite Expansion

Early marquee accounts in the UK fuel rapid head-count growth in London and Cape Town and seed diversification into adjacent digital channels.

Industry Accolades Validate Momentum

Success earns TMI the title Best Small UK PPC Agency and a first listing in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, confirming its position among the nation’s fastest-growing businesses.

Entry Into the United States

Our first U.S. enterprise engagement opens the market; a second major win follows within 18 months, embedding TMI in a highly competitive vertical.

Scaling for Global Impact

Sustained new-business velocity drives operational expansion across key regions, while multiple agency awards and an FT 1000 listing underscore our growth trajectory.

Built for Global Growth

Today we steward nearly $500 million in annual media investment for multinational clients across 65+ markets, earning placement in the Financial Times long-term growth index alongside innovators such as Spotify and Zalando.

Client service teams are strategically aligned to provide dedicated support across global time zones.
