The MB story.

Built on relationships and results.

Since 1989, MB Advertising has been a proud part of the UK automotive industry.

Over the years we’ve supported many of the industry’s most recognised dealer groups, OEM brands and key stakeholders, always
with the same simple approach...

Work hard and with Integrity.

Build relationships that last.

Deliver transformative results.

Founded in Yorkshire. Built on
rock solid foundations.

MB Advertising was founded in 1989 by Mike Bennett (MB), with a simple ambition: to build a proper Yorkshire agency.

Honest, hard working & down to earth.

Committed to doing things the right way.

That ethos has never left us.

Even as we’ve grown, our values remain the same:

Great service.

Straight talking.

Solutions based thinking.

Long-term partnerships.

We are automotive through and through.

4 Decades, one sector, deep expertise.

For almost 40 years, MB has focused exclusively on automotive.

It’s what we know best.

It’s what we love.

And it’s why our clients trust us.

From franchise dealer networks to OEM partners, we’ve worked at the heart of the industry for years understanding the pace, the pressures, and what it takes to deliver marketing that performs.

We don’t just understand automotive.

We live in it.

Agency life in Sheffield.

Purpose-built. People-first. Proudly independent.

MB is based in Sheffield, in our own purpose-built, two-storey agency space designed to bring our people together and deliver the best work for our clients.

It’s more than an office.

It’s home to a team that cares about delivery, relationships, and helping our clients succeed.

A specialist partnership that shaped the UK market.

Our sister company, Bluesky Interactive, was established in 2001.

In 2008 we brought the businesses together, combining website and digital expertise to form what became...

The UK’s largest independently owned, specialist automotive marketing agency.

That combination of scale, capability and focus is still a huge part of what makes MB unique today.

Today.

Still built on relationships and proud to be...

• A team of 120 marketers • Working across Sheffield and Coventry

• Delivering marketing at national scale for 1,000+ franchise locations

• With annual turnover of around £20 million

Employee owned since 2023

We are proud to share that we are now owned by our members.

MB Advertising is an Employee Owned Trust, which means the business belongs to the people who work here.

That creates a culture of pride, responsibility and care - and our clients feel the difference.

When you work with MB, you’re working with a team personally invested in doing things properly.

Not just delivering campaigns.

Delivering success.
