Total Media North was formed in 1999 when Total Media acquired Birmingham Media, which in turn had been trading since 1990. As part of the Total Media Group, we originally provided media planning and buying to clients who were located in the Midlands or anywhere else North of London. Clients wanted us to be local but still wanted to benefit from ties to a London office. So TM North met both of those needs. We soon found, however, that clients from all over the country were best suited working with an agency of our size rather than volume-buying agencies and that our office location wasn't really that important.

Our clients are many and varied ranging from international business to business clients needing television, outdoor, radio and national press to those whose plans require mostly regional media. In fact, we work with many clients across every medium.

We do not believe in formulaic planning and because we do not enter into pre-arranged deals with media owners, we plan the appropriate media and negotiate the very best deals for our clients and keep their interests at heart. Working closely with Total Media's London office, we are able to ensure that our rates are competitive and we have full access to all the latest media planning tools.
