eight&four

Independent network of London-based agencies

Overview

eight&four Group is an independent network of marketing and communications agencies based in London. It coordinates a group of partner agencies to work together on client campaigns, offering access to combined capabilities across strategy, creative, media, digital, and PR. The network model means different agencies stay autonomous while collaborating under the eight&four umbrella, sharing resources, best practices, and cross‑agency teams to deliver integrated services for clients. What sets eight&four apart is its independence and network approach, rather than being part of a large linear holding company, enabling closer collaboration among specialist agencies while maintaining their own identities. The goal is to provide clients with access to a broad, integrated set of services through a flexible, agency-led network that can scale with project needs.
