Our Team
Infectious Media was founded in May 2008 by Andy Cocker and Martin Kelly, two 'veterans' of the UK digital media agency scene. Their vision was to create a new advertiser facing value proposition, based on a data and technology-centric skill set and infrastructure.
Rather than have lots of people trained to plan, negotiate and buy media the old way, our team comprises analysts, traders and engineers, who work alongside experienced digital media practitioners to get the most from platform traded display advertising.
We are always on the lookout for exceptionally talented and motivated team players. Check out the latest career opportunities, and If you feel you have the right skills, please submit your CV and a short covering note.
