Q> Give us your elevator pitch:
What excites us the most about where we are right now is that this is The Mill at its most ambitious. We’ve just joined forces with MPC, bringing together two studios with extraordinary creative legacies under one brand name: The Mill. For clients that means a single creative partner with creative craft and the global reach to take it anywhere in the world without losing its creative vision.
