We were born in a garage

SocialMedia8 started modestly in 2007. With no portfolio, no clients and

no money (except a loan) Igor Beuker founded a new agency manifesto.

With some smart, obsessed and hard working people, we were lucky to

find a few clients who embraced our social vision, passion and drive.

Since then SocialMedia8 repeatedly transformed itself and became the

world?s leading social marketing agency with a dozen of international

clients.

In 2008 SocialMedia8 was acquired by  WPP (NASDAQ: WPPGY), a world

leader in marketing communications. And SocialMedia8 soon opened its

doors in London, Milan and Madrid.

So our storytelling is: we were born in a garage, and we are now part of the

global WPP network.

However, we cherish our modest roots and we like to stay social. And humble.
