About

Founded in 2003, Show Media is a London-based full-service creative agency specialising in editorial content, art direction, design and brand strategy across print and digital formats.

Our story

Our three company directors – Peter Howarth, Ian Pendleton and Joanne Glasbey – met in the 1990s, while Peter was editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine, Ian was art director and Joanne deputy editor. They set up Show Media as a publishing company, producing magazines for luxury brands and consumer titles for other publishers. From there, the company has evolved into a one-stop shop for all sorts of creative projects [link to Projects tab], producing content in print and digital formats for more than 300 different clients [link to clients tab] in the luxury lifestyle sector and beyond, from fashion, travel, and food and drink, to finance, retail and property.
