I can't believe I’ve been beating media owners up for 25 years – although a quick look in the mirror helps me remember all too easily! I spent the first 8 years in London working for big fancy clients at big fat cat advertising agencies before running the media department of a direct marketing agency out-of-town.
I set up WJP Media in 1989 and enjoyed it so much, did the whole thing again in 2000 with Space & Time Media, and I have to tell you, this is the most fun you can have with your trousers on! I love what we do here – I think our philosophy of ‘service first, profit later’ means that we never lose sight of who we are and why we do this. If you add to this a fantastic reputation for talented media planning and a true flair for out-of-the-box, blue sky, whatever you want to call it strategic thinking, then a compelling proposition we certainly are.
With five wonderful children and a gorgeous wife, a love of all music and fine wines, a passion for driving and a belief in fair play – I win the lottery every day.
