Assembly is going through its next chapter of growth. We are a growth mind-set, meritocratic, and high-performance business with a progressive outlook in all that we do. To realise our potential in this next chapter we need some new skills and thinking.
The core DNA of Assembly resides in performance marketing and has ample deep technical expertise in providing digital solutions for leading brands. New and existing clients are asking us to extend that digital expertise across all media and connect the remaining nodes of traditional media with digital methods of execution, measurement and automation.
We were born the right way to do this - we are building out from a leading digital and technology capability and adding the rest; not trying to reverse engineer a traditional legacy business into a more modern version of itself.
