Wiggin managing partner John Banister shook up the media boutique last year by introducing a new five-year strategy with the goal of ­making it the best corporate media firm in the UK. The Cheltenham-headquartered firm is also considering launching a number of media-related alternative business structures.
Banister began putting the building blocks

in place last year with a significant investment in people. That took its toll on net profit and ­average profit per equity partner, but Wiggin’s revenue grew by almost 6 per cent to £11.4m.

Banister has overhauled Wiggin’s ­management structure, introducing a team where he sits with two senior partners and the chief operating officer. This team handles the majority of Wiggin’s decision-making and also allocates the 10 per cent profit pool of its ­modified lockstep system.

The firm has boosted its impressive client roster with some new computer games clients. Other clients include BBC Worldwide, Warner Bros and Universal Pictures.
