WPP and GroupM

MediaCom was founded in 1986 in Europe as a subsidiary of Grey Advertising, and soon expanded throughout the world. In 2006, after the acquisition of Grey by WPP, MediaCom became a key part of GroupM, WPP's global media operations arm.

Together with our GroupM partners, we are responsible for $73 billion* in media buying, equaling a 33% market share (source: RECMA), which enables us to offer our clients unparalleled negotiation power.
