About TBWA\Media Arts Lab

Founded in 2006 by Lee Clow, 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.
