What We Do

Noble People is a media agency.

The combination we offer is not found everywhere: creative approaches to using media space underpinned by strategic rigor through analytics and the application of the latest marketing science.

While marketers are often forced to choose between data or creativity, we recognize they need both.

Put simply, what we do is advise our clients how to invest their marketing communications budget in the most effective way to deliver an impact on their business. We focus more on business metrics than on leading indicators—which only feed back on a narrow window of activity.

We execute our recommendation through buying media space in all channels (digital, search, broadcast TV, podcasts, out of home, social, as well as traditional channels); negotiating partnerships with publishers, platforms and personalities; and sometimes finding new ways for people to encounter our clients’ brand by creating entirely new media spaces.

We’ve done this across many product categories including packaged goods, fintech, travel, business to business, food delivery, and entertainment.
