History + Culture

The Why Media story so far..

Why Media is one of the fastest growing + largest marketing agencies in Europe

The Why Media story began back in 2006 when the agency was founded in Hong Kong under the "Fluid Design + Marketing" brand. Today, Why Media is one of the most exciting and fastest growing design, marketing and digital agencies in Europe serving clients from offices in the UK, Spain and Italy.

In the founding years, Why Media (formerly Fluid Design + Marketing) supported several clients in Macau and China from their office in Central London. Even today, the Asian culture of hard work and attention to detail runs through the company's veins and can be seen in everything they do.
