Hello

We are a results-driven, creatively-motivated, digitally-inspired, client-obsessed team of thinkers and doers trying not to grow up and succumb to corporate compromise in a world where differences stand out.

Founded as Media Fusion in 2007 by David Whittingham. Over the last 13 years, the company has grown and developed into a full-service, multi-faceted, creative & digital marketing agency, applying innovative and disruptive thinking, whilst consistently delivering outstanding results for our clients with an exceptional retention rate.

In 2020, Media Fusion became Fusion Group, recognising the breadth of services our clients looked to us to deliver alongside a move to less transactional, more strategic partnerships intrinsically linked to the performance and growth of the products and services we are fortunate to promote. We are home to a team of highly-experienced creative experts, technical specialists and results-driven professionals committed to successfully bringing your ambition to life.

Our Head Office is in Newbury, Berkshire, right next to the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal – a short train jaunt (45 minutes) from London Paddington.
