The first media agency in the UK was established in 1896, long before the media it now operates in was firmly established.
This initial list of UK based media agencies was compiled by visiting the websites of every single one of them.
Consequently, through this page, creatives now have access to the very latest details about their submission policies.
Some of these agencies do not take unsolicited approaches. This means they are never open to queries from creatives, and only take on clients based on referrals. So please refrain from contacting them. Their details are only listed here as a reference guide.
In some cases their submission polices have been split into Above-the-Line Talent (Screenwriters, Directors, Producers, and Actors) and Below-the-Line Talent (Crew).
Where the main agency does not have a Twitter account, the individual accounts of their agents are provided instead. All of these accounts are linked directly to their Twitter page, so you can follow them with a simple click. However, do not pitch submissions via Twitter. Always stick to the individual requirements of the agency.
Clicking on the name of the agency will open their own website for further details, but the essentials are all listed here. The e-mail addresses all are linked too, so clicking on them will enable you to e-mail them instantly.
Unless otherwise indicated, the 32 UK media agencies below are based in London.
