MediaMonks


MediaMonks is a creative digital production company producing websites, games, and films, often to serve the needs of advertising agencies. The company's head office is based in Hilversum, the Netherlands. MediaMonks was founded in 2001 by Wesley ter Haar, Gin Roberscheuten and Terrence Koeman and is managed by Victor Knaap, who joined the company in 2003. The company has international offices in New York, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mountain View, Sandpoint, Toronto, Mexico city, San José, Bogota, Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Hilversum, Amsterdam, Dublin, Stockholm, Madrid, Cape Town, Moscow, Dnepr, Nur-Sultan, Dubai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Singapore, Shanghai, Sydney and Melbourne. The studio has won a number awards in its field, which Wesley ter Haar claims is not in advertising but creative digital production.
MediaMonks joined the Society of Digital Agencies in 2012, with Ter Haar serving as chairman of that collective today. The company has co-produced more award-winning internet projects than it has won directly, though in 2014 MediaMonks won 23 Lions at Cannes, including one for the Universal Typeface Experiment.
In July 2018, S4 Capital purchased MediaMonks for $350 million.
In January 2020, MediaMonks was the first company ever to be awarded 250 FWA awards.
