About The Agency
Our late, great founder David Pinnington set Fuse up in 2008 in a way that completely disrupted the sponsorship agency landscape at the time - integrated into media, backed by data. We are extremely proud that Fuse has since become one of the leading global agencies in the industry, allowing us to attract incredible clients and talent.
We work with our brand clients to deliver growth through the power of sport & entertainment marketing. Our services cover strategy, brokering, planning & creative, rights consultancy, major events, PR, and measurement. Fuse Ignite is our rights holder consultancy, building world class sponsorship propositions and providing go to market sales expertise across Omnicom and beyond.
Our work has won numerous awards, and our people are frequently recognised by the industry as top performers in their field. We place high importance on our trusted relationships, sound moral judgement and good governance delivered through transparent processes.
Fuse has a team of 120 in our London HQ and 300 more in 16 offices across the world. We work with clients including PepsiCo, Vodafone, Google, Philips, McDonald’s, Uber, Nissan, British Gas, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Jaguar Land Rover, Just Eat Takeaway, and Klarna.
Flexible Working
At Omnicom Media Group, we are committed to supporting flexibility for our people while fostering collaboration, innovation, and teamwork. We have a hybrid working model (three days in the office, two working remotely), to ensure that we meet the needs of both our people and our business, balancing the benefits of in-person connections with the flexibility of remote working. Our standard working hours are 9:30 – 17:30, but we offer the ability to flex around core hours of 10:30 – 16:30 to give our people flexibility on how they manage their working day, whether that’s in the office or working remotely. For example, you could start work at 8:30 and finish at 16:30 or start at 10:30 and finish at 18:30.
We encourage open conversations between our people and managers to help navigate high-need periods and individual circumstances. Our goal is to create an environment where people feel genuinely supported to do their best - both in their careers and in their lives outside of work.
Be Your Best
