About

Mother in London started in 1996 when a group of friends sat around a kitchen table in Clerkenwell. They wanted to break free from traditional, network-owned ad agencies and be 100% independent. Free to do the best work of their lives. Almost three decades on, we’re as fiercely independent as ever. Though our kitchen table has had to expand to fit 250 like-minded people, coming together each day to create the best work they possibly can. Beyond our London base, Mother now has kitchen tables in New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Singapore and Berlin.
