With 1200 employees across 26 countries, tms marries a broad vision with focused expertise to rethink the way brands behave. Their clients are brands you know and love: McDonalds, t-Mobile, Adidas, Coca-Cola and H&M to name a few. Founded in 1974, the company rebranded in 2020 as tms by merging their sourcing business with The Marketing Store.
