Maxus was officially launched as a global media network in October 2008, although it had previously been known as Maximize during the late 1990s in Asia and had standalone operations in the USA and parts of Europe from 2005.
With headquarters in London and New York, Maxus has been the fastest-growing global media agency for the last two years, according to RECMA.[3] It has operations in all major markets worldwide and works for some of the world’s most well-known advertisers, including Barclays, NBC Universal, Fiat Group, Nokia, Vodafone, Church & Dwight, Nestlé and L'Oréal.[4]
In 2011, Maxus launched an online community I am Maxus that brought together its offices in a secure social media environment. It enables the media agency’s people to connect and work together via mobile or desktop platforms, wherever they are in the world.
