About Mother

Founded in 1996, Mother is an advertising agency with offices in New York, Los Angeles and London. Its work also spans Strategy and Brand. Past clients include Stella Artois, KFC, Target and Ikea.

Mother is one of the most prominent independent agencies in the world, founded in London in 1996 and operating a flagship US office in New York alongside Los Angeles. It has stayed stubbornly independent through decades of industry consolidation, and is known for bold, well-crafted, often funny work for brands including Stella Artois, KFC, Target, and Ikea.

Mother's proposition is craft and independence, the freedom to make braver work because no holding company sits above it. That independence is increasingly rare and is the heart of its pitch, though staying private also means competing for scale against far larger networks.
