Wavemaker UK

🎂🍰 The Great GroupM Bake Off   Earlier today, we joined forces with EssenceMediacom UK and GroupM for the first-ever charity bake sale in our new home at One Southwark Bridge, with all money raised going to Cancer Research UK (CRUK).    From show-stopping cakes to delicious brownies and cupcakes, our talented bakers delivered treats worthy of a Hollywood handshake 🤝 Thanks to everyone who baked, donated, or helped to organise the event - we raised over £2,000 and that wouldn't have been possible without you. Just goes to show the difference we can make when we come together to support an important cause 🧡

Charts on film continues! Guest speaker Dominic Charles, Wavemaker, examines how profitability varies by media channel. Using findings from Profit Ability 2: The new business case for advertising, he demonstrates how all the product sectors analysed in the study generated a positive payback from advertising when considering the full payback period (total performance within 24 months).
