Crunch Media is a recruitment media agency. Its HQ is Swansea, United Kingdom. Its size band is 51-200 (LinkedIn, read 2026-09-03). J\&P Capital 4 Limited directly owns it; Audience Collective Limited has controlled that parent since 11 May 2021. It appears here under recruitment marketing. Our take The craft here is media planning and measurement, not brand. The EE study is the clearest example: TGI and ONS data pulled into a dashboard the client could interrogate by postcode, then a campaign cut by segment and location. BT and DHL are the same shape, audience targeting and channel mix rather than creative platforms. Two things to weigh. Roughly a third of the published work is not recruitment at all, covering retail, sponsorship and public health campaigns. And the site badges Audience Collective without explaining it, while the LinkedIn page still calls the agency independent. Services ## What they sell Service lines named on their own site.
