The Marketing Group - Moving to the next stage

The Marketing Group is now in a position to grasp the opportunities it has to deliver innovative tech-based marketing solutions, having addressed its legacy issues. Six agencies were disposed of in FY17 and three wound-down, leaving the group with a network of agencies across Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, with a strong global roster of clients. The Q417 launch of TRUTH, a media agency run on blockchain, has greatly lifted TMG’s profile in the industry, with its credibility cemented by the successful deployment of its first campaign, with The Guardian. This is a potentially transformative initiative, with the supporting investment programme likely to restrain current year profitability but stimulate growth thereafter.
