About Croud
Croud is an independent media, creative and data agency, founded in London in 2011. It has five offices, among them London, New York, Atlanta and Dubai. It says it was Campaign Global’s Independent Media Agency of the Year in 2025. Its pitch is what it calls Return on Intelligence, meaning brand strategy, media, social, creative and data work on one platform.
Staffing is its distinctive feature. The agency says it has 600 or more in-house staff and a network of around 2,900 on-demand specialists it calls Croudies, working across 118 markets and 86 languages. It says about 40% of client work is delivered through that network, and that its own platform, CroudOS, matches people to tasks. Ask who does the work on your account, in which time zone, and whether you pay different rates for staff and network.
Services are grouped into four suites, each tied to a proprietary tool. Audience covers strategy, planning, analytics and measurement. Creative covers influencer work with its sister agency Born Social. Media covers paid search, programmatic, paid social, SEO and Amazon advertising, where it describes itself as an Amazon Ads partner. Commerce covers retail media, product feeds, conversion rate optimisation and UX design.
Its case studies report its own numbers. MPB credits a 35% rise in return on ad spend from linking its customer data to search bidding, and 25% year-on-year revenue growth after moving media in-house. Other studies cover Timberland, Thorne, Duke Cannon and IWG. No prices, minimums or contract terms are published, and the contact page offers a form and office phone numbers.
