Royds Advertising (since bought by McCann-Erickson) was Britain’s largest domestic advertising group with offices in 13 cities across the UK. The agencies operated autonomously, though jointly serviced some national business.

The Cardiff office was the largest agency in Wales and handled brand and retail advertising along with some regional government business.

It was a good first job and an excellent place to learn how the industry worked, particularly ‘below the line’.
