VML

About VML

VML is a branding & identity agency with offices in New York and Chicago. Its work also spans Motion & Film, Experiential and Strategy.

VML is one of the largest agencies in the world by sheer headcount, created by WPP's 2024 merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, which is why the "300 years of combined experience" line isn't hyperbole; the lineage runs back through J. Walter Thompson, the oldest agency in America. The result is a global creative, brand-experience and commerce network built to handle enterprise clients across every market at once.

The proposition is genuine end-to-end scale, creativity, technology, data and commerce under a single banner. The honest reality of a merger this size is that integration takes time, and a brand-new mega-network has to prove it functions as one company rather than two stitched together. For a multinational that needs everything in one place, VML is built for exactly that; just expect the experience to vary by market and team.
