HMS was founded in June 2002 by Pauline Hackett, who previously spent over 25 years working in both full service advertising agencies and media independents on major consumer and retail brands. This experience has been nurtured to offer a bespoke, personal service to small to medium clients who have become disillusioned with being a small fish in a big sea, rarely having contact with experienced and enthusiastic senior personnel.

Clients who reject the notion that the lowest prices are always given to the biggest buying companies and that the price you pay for your ad space depends entirely on your buying power.

Rather they accept that the media owners can’t afford to do this, and are more likely to offer the keenest prices to the smaller operators. And secondly they accept that the big media independents will give the best prices to their biggest clients and not their smaller clients.

Equally, they acknowledge that the planning and buying functions should not be separated – that buyers cannot possibly buy at the keenest prices without a complete understanding of the planning process, involvement in researching the market and the reasoning behind media selection.

If you fit this description then we should talk!
