Background
Influent Media is an independent digital sales house, with offices in London, Dublin & Amsterdam & Dubai. We work with premium digital publishers & tech providers, to represent, manage and grow their local or multi-market footprint.
We were born through a frustration with the market, having seen consolidation of media owners into large, inflexible groups. We are here to disrupt the norm, provide good quality & transparent media, and have some fun whilst we do it.
We pride ourselves on being a flexible and hard-working business, selling market leading opportunities to agencies, direct clients and 3rd party suppliers. We’re passionate about growth and ensuring everyone we work with is proud to say they are part of the Influent Media family.
Our current publisher portfolio includes Rightmove, The Met Office, Warner Music Group, TfL, Vivino The Royal Horticultural Society, Disney, Rakuten, Warner Bros Discovery & more. Our new curation product allows to utilise best in class ID-less targeting, expanding out client base to a wider selection of advertisers.
Beyond the job of selling media, all employees are provided healthcare, a generous maternity package, free fruit & drinks in the office & regular team socials. We offer flexible working with 2-3 days in the office each week according to your schedule.
