Uniting the capabilities of creative, integrated digital and content creation agencies, Modern Citizens is made up of over 100 people with offices in London, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

The companies, all part of the Candid platform, are being integrated equally from a position of strength. They will continue to work with their respective clients, but now be able to offer expanded access to a broader range of capabilities and services, that together will create deeper, richer and more expansive creative work. An agency infused by technology and built for the modern world, embracing all the creative capabilities and creative heights available to it.

Modern Citizens is structured around eight modular practices, providing expertise across: strategic consultancy, brand design, digital build, content creation, brand advertising, performance marketing, UX design, and data analysis and optimisation. Each module can be deployed individually or combined,  meaning that clients only use what they need to help drive growth.

The rebrand, will officially go live in mid-October, and Modern Citizens aims to offer a streamlined and collaborative approach to addressing the challenges of modern marketing.

Competitor conquesting: why the battle for attention is won physically

Most campaigns focus on their own target audience, but miss opportunities where intent is at its highest: with the competitor. With competitor conquesting, we make the battle for attention physical. By deploying geofencing around competitor locations, we reach consumers exactly when they are in the right mindset and actively making choices. At mJourney, we combine hyper-local targeting with real-time activation and footfall measurement. The result is a strategy that isn't just about reach, but about driving tangible impact on behavior. This allows us to influence the decision when it truly matters, resulting in a demonstrably higher visit rate.
