PHMG becomes an employee-owned business

More than 25 years since we began, we’ve grown into the world’s leading audio branding agency, now expanding into the wider world of customer engagement marketing. But through every stage of that growth, one thing has always remained constant: PHMG is powered by its people.

That’s why we’ve made this move.

What is an Employee Ownership Trust?

We’ve transitioned to what’s known as an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This means that the majority of PHMG is now held in trust on behalf of the people who work here—ensuring the long-term success of the company benefits the very people who help create it.

There are no outside investors. No buyouts. No shortcuts. Just a simple idea: when the people who build a business share in its future, everyone wins.

Why now?

This isn’t just about rewarding people—it’s about protecting what makes PHMG special.

Employee ownership keeps us independent, focused, and future-ready. It means our decisions can stay grounded in long-term thinking, not short-term pressure. And it ensures the values we’ve built the business on—creativity, collaboration, and innovation—remain at the heart of what we do.

We’ve joined a growing global movement of companies embracing employee ownership as a better, fairer way of doing business. And we’re proud to be leading the way in our industry.

What does this mean in practice?

While the structure of our ownership has changed, our focus hasn’t. We’re still dedicated to helping brands connect with their audiences in meaningful, measurable ways—across audio, telephony, digital and beyond.

Over time, our employee-owners will share in the success of the business through profit-sharing, deeper engagement, and a stronger voice in how PHMG evolves.

For our clients and partners, this means even greater commitment, creativity and care—from a team that’s truly invested in delivering outstanding work.

Looking ahead

This is more than a milestone. It’s a mindset shift.

We believe the best ideas don’t just come from the top—they come from a team that feels ownership, pride and purpose in what they’re building. And with this change, we’re giving our people the power to shape the next era of PHMG.

Our business.
Crafted by the people who make it what it is.
And now, owned by them too.
