International trade in UK advertising services has grown to more than £7.9 billion per year, an increase of more than 300% in a decade, further cementing London’s position as one of the world’s leading creative capitals.

Agency Inc was chosen as the only B2B sector specialist in an inspiring group of 45 agencies to help promote British creativity and strategic marketing services overseas as part of the UK Advertising Exports Group.

In a new report which demonstrates that advertising is now the UK’s second-largest services sector for exports, Agency Inc’s award-winning work is showcased alongside renowned international agencies such as adam&eveDDB and VCCP.

The group’s aim is to accelerate the profile and lead generation opportunities in key international territories including China, Japan, South Korea, North America and Europe.
