We’re a creative and technology partner for corporate brands.

For more than two decades, we've helped listed and private companies solve business challenges through creativity, data and technology.

Based in London, we’re an independent creative & technology agency with 25 years’ experience supporting some of the world’s largest organisations.

Founded in 2001 after working within both independent agencies and global networks, SampsonMay was created to bring a more agile, specialist, digital-first approach to B2B communications.

Since then, we’ve partnered with multinationals, independents and scale-ups, designing brands, websites and campaigns that build trust, drive performance and deliver impact.

Our design ethos

We believe great design alone isn’t enough. Success comes when strategy, brand, technology and content work together to create connected, high-performing experiences.

Our ethos is rooted in the belief that great digital experiences are built on solid foundations, grounded in insight, shaped by a clear and creative brand expression, powered by the right technology, and delivered through content that truly connects.

Our approach is digital-first and user-focused, always aligned to business goals and brought to life with craft and clarity.
