About TBWA\Media Arts Lab
Founded in 2006, TBWA\Media Arts Lab is an advertising agency with offices in Los Angeles, London, Miami, Shanghai and Singapore. Its work also spans Branding & Identity, Motion & Film and Strategy. Past clients include Apple.
TBWA\Media Arts Lab traces its lineage to TBWA\Chiat\Day's 1984 launch of the Macintosh, the ad that turned an agency-client relationship into a cultural touchstone. In 2006, Omnicom's TBWA formalized that partnership into Media Arts Lab, a bespoke agency built to serve Apple and only Apple, now working out of a 50,000-square-foot Los Angeles space alongside offices in London, Miami, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.
Its strength is single-client focus at a scale few shops ever get to operate at, with craft, secrecy, and production discipline calibrated entirely around one brand's standards. That same structure is the risk: the agency's fortunes are tied to one client relationship, so its stability depends on Apple's continued commitment to the model rather than a diversified roster.
