The Agency
Motoring Press Agency (MPA) was founded in 1984 by Jonathan Gill and Jeremy Clarkson to supply motoring editorial to regional newspapers. After Clarkson left for TV, MPA teamed up with Deborah Tee and expanded into a full-service media, print, marketing, and PR powerhouse with over 50 employees.
In 2008, Gill and Tee reunited to launch MPA Creative, an innovative agency offering tailored PR, marketing, and event management solutions. Known for its extensive network, attention to detail, and a "can-do" attitude, MPA Creative has built a loyal client base and continues to thrive.
MPA is split into four divisions - Creative, Commercial, Events and Promotions - serving clients across motorsport, automotive and tech, with a strong focus on CSR projects across all areas of the business.
