The trio met in London while working in a financial services startup and building full service inhouse marketing and media departments for Lloyds TSB. In 2005, Andrew, Andy, and Matt decided to create an agency that would unite media and creative services and build the technology to power them. That summer, Essence launched and began working with UK electronics retailer The Carphone Warehouse. The agency’s proprietary media management platform was created shortly thereafter. 2006 2009 2010 2012 2013 We’re changing the way people think about advertising with services built for a new generation of marketers—and their audiences.
