History
Hogarth was established in London in 2008. In 2009 the company formed a joint venture with WPP plc (NASDAQ:WPPGY). Kevan Thorn - an original founding partner - and Richard Glasson - who joined the company in 2011 as Chief Operating Officer - run the business. The other original founding partner Barry Jones retired in January 2018.
Hogarth has undergone rapid organic expansion over recent years as a consequence of the trend for large corporations to decouple their advertising creative development from production. In 2010 the company opened an office in New York. In 2011 offices were opened in Hong Kong, Singapore and Mexico. An office in Bucharest was opened in 2012.
Hogarth also manages and provides the production technology for in-house studio facilities at advertising agencies and client marketing organisations.
