WHO WE ARE

WCRS is part of ENGINE, a new kind of creative marketing group for the 21st century, delivering ‘best in class agencies, under one roof'.

Alongside the original ad agency (WCRS) we have built a cluster of successful businesses covering Brand Consultancy (Dave), Digital Marketing (Altogether), Direct Marketing (Partners Andrew Aldridge), Sales Promotion (Woo), Public Affairs & Corporate PR (Mandate), Consumer PR & Events (Slice), Digital Content (Huge Entertainment), Sponsorship Consultancy (Karen Earl Sponsorship), Strategic Public Sector Consultancy (Digital Public) and Data Strategies (Fuel). All these agencies work together under one roof at our Engine office in Golden Square. 

In practice this has been the biggest single development that has transformed the way we work. Every day we have those corridor conversations that are more productive than laboriously organised meetings. The client can select as many, or as few, slices of the communication cake as are required. But each slice is made from the same recipe. The lead agency can come from any discipline, but whichever it comes from you get one brand idea, one brand strategy. With a common operating system between all the businesses.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

WCRS was born in 1979, but reborn in 2004, when a management buyout saw 27 members of staff buy the agency back from Havas. It's already making a difference.

In 2005, our first full year of independence, we were named Agency of the Year. Our agency is growing fast on the back of a simple belief: if we can make our clients successful, success will surely follow for WCRS. 

In short, our aim is that WCRS should be A Brand's Best Friend.
