Piqniq becomes second fastest agency to achieve IPA membership

Piqniq has been awarded full membership of the IPA, becoming the second fastest agency ever to reach this milestone.

Full membership of the IPA, the UK’s professional body for advertising and media agencies, requires at least £750,000 in annual revenue. Members also have to meet its standards on professional practice and continuous professional development.

Piqniq joined the IPA Accelerator scheme for start-ups after launch in 2024, before progressing to full membership in under two years.

Bee Pearson, Founding Partner at Piqniq, said:

“We launched Piqniq because we felt there was room for something different, both in who leads an agency and how it operates. Of course we wanted to build a successful business, but we also wanted to play our part in making the industry braver, more inclusive and more human. Growing fast enough to reach this milestone in under two years shows there’s real appetite for an agency that does things differently.”

Proudly independent and majority female-owned, Piqniq has grown from three founders in 2024 to a team of 15. The agency was recently recognised by Campaign as one to watch, picked up an award at the UK Agency of the Year Awards and achieved B Corp certification earlier this year.

Mitchell Cocker, Founding Partner at Piqniq, said:

“Full IPA membership is something we’ve worked towards since launch, and being among the fastest agencies ever to achieve it is a proud moment for the team. It will give us access to the tools, networks and standards that will help support our next phase of growth.”
