Ingram (UK)

Chris Ingram is the man widely credited with inventing the concept of the modern media agency. In the late 1970s he was the founder and chief executive of what became media network CIA, and later the marketing services group Tempus. That business was acquired by WPP in 2001, and CIA was absorbed into what is now Mediaedge:CIA. Ingram spent a couple of years out of the limelight before launching a new vehicle in 2003, following the acquisition of planning agency Unity. However The Ingram Partnership failed to achieve the same success of Ingram's previous venture, and its main London office in 2007. Instead Chris Ingram has launched a new consultancy business in New York and China under the name IngramEnterprise.
