Founded in 1977 by David Abbott, Peter Mead and Adrian Vickers, AMV BBDO is an advertising agency based in London. Its work also spans Strategy and Branding & Identity.

Its work has been recognized at Cannes Lions Titanium Grand Prix 2021, D&AD Black Pencil and Longest consecutive Gold run in IPA Effectiveness Awards history.

AMV was founded in London in 1977 by David Abbott, Peter Mead, and Adrian Vickers, and became Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO in 1991 when BBDO acquired a stake in the agency. In the decades since, it has built one of British advertising's deepest trophy cases, including a Titanium Grand Prix and five total Grand Prix at Cannes Lions in a single year, a D&AD Black Pencil, and the longest consecutive run of Gold awards in IPA Effectiveness Awards history, working with Diageo, Mars, BT, Guinness, and Ford Europe.

Its strength is a rare pairing of celebrated creative craft with hard evidence that the work moves business results, not just award juries. As part of the BBDO and Omnicom network, its distinct London identity sits alongside sibling BBDO offices worldwide, so its reputation is best read as a specific, London-built creative culture rather than the network brand as a whole.
