WFCA plc was formed through the acquisition of WFCA by Ekay plc in April '08. The company gained significant growth through the purchase and the name change reflects WFCA’s more significant market presence.
WFCA was founded in 1996 as a full service integrated marketing agency. Michael Richards joined in 2000 with the aim of building the business and accelerating growth. This culminated with the achievement of 30th place in the UK agency rankings published by Neilsen in February 2008. The company also featured in The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 in 2006 and 2007.
The merger of the businesses has created a substantial advertising and marketing services agency based outside of London, with a broad client list featuring reputable household names and able to provide a full service offering at competitive cost levels.
Ekay was established in 1994 to create a full-service advertising agency specialising in direct response advertising. The business grew rapidly and was listed on AIM in January 2006.
The principle reason for IPO Admission was to enable it to supplement its organic growth by making strategic acquisitions with the assistance of EKAY's quoted status.
