Just ask yourself if a company such as this should have a valuation of only £30m.....
Those who've sold out on a tiny rise this morning clearly don't know this sector and its current situation.
Sector is undervalued, take a look at creston also.
Has anyone got a view what a realistic rerate could take us to? How many multiples of earnings is achievable in this sector? I have to admit that this is the only share in advert/media/PR in my pf, so I dont have comparisons with other. I have followed it a long long time since the 2010 turnaround plan commenced, and have been satisfied with performance in growing the business whilst getting borrowing very firmly down. With growth in the economy confirmed, will the "lollopalooza" year hinted at by the chairman be on the horizon?
Nice price rise and about time too. This company have loads of potential and a great BOD. Still more to come here over time. Results soon as well, hopefully good or at least in line as stated by them. Onwards and Upwards!
Still a bargain sp IMV,,,,,,,,plenty more to come here,,,,,,,DYOR
Press attention, and not before time. The few of us who have banged on about this bargain sp can allow ourselves a knowing nod or two. I like the rerate word, bring it on !
TIPPED :-) From the Investors' Chronicle (20/2/14): "Mission Marketing ready to recover and re-rate The Bank of England expects the UK economy to grow at a remarkable 3.4 per cent in 2014, up from 1.9 per cent in 2013, suggesting the UK recovery has finally found its feet. This is excellent news for the cyclical advertising market, which should soon move back to growth mode after several years of contraction. Surprisingly, this has yet to be properly factored into the share prices of marketing companies listed on Aim, which have been largely left behind in the recent stock market rally. None look cheaper than Mission Marketing (TMMG), a full-service advertising and PR agency with 18 offices mainly outside of London, whose shares trade on just six times forecast earnings for 2014 against a peer group average in the low double-digits.
Quirky old system the Bulls, but I guess it detects the momentum, which has been building for a long period now. Most shares are tightly held I suspect, and the investors here know what the company has been doing over the last years. Acquiring, growing market share, paying down debt consistently, and initiating dividends which will hopefully increase over time. Doesnt need a computer programme to point this lot out as a Buy IMHO
I think anyone who looks into this company can see its a screaming buy at these lowly levels.

Those are two terrific high profile brands, big congrats to RLA and BL. These guys have a busy time ahead now. The mood of the country is changing, with national news carrying good news stories on employment and business investment. Getting the message out at such an opportune time will surely be high on the priority list. The Group can surely only benefit from this upswing.
23.01.14//Mo gets Big on healthy protein for 2014 Quorn campaign Quorn is going for gold this year after signing Olympic Gold Medallist Mo Farah to front a multi-million pound marketing campaign through Big Communications. TV advertising features the Olympic star telling the audience that practice and protein is the key to his success and marks the first time in almost 20 years that a sportsperson features cross-platform for the brand. The campaign launches a bold new reframing for the brand, as a healthy protein, aimed at a broader consumer audience who are committed to a fit and active lifestyle. Quorn's international marketing director, Peter Harrison, said: "The meat-alternative category is in growth, driven by Quorn's 6.4% value and 9.1% volume growth (YOY 52w/e November 2013). As more consumers look to alternatives to meat it is estimated that the sales potential for the category could exceed £600m by 2020. By reframing Quorn we will reach a new audience - those who lead a fit and active lifestyle – whilst continuing to appeal to people that already understand the benefits of a meat-free diet. "Mo Farah is the epitome of fitness and we're proud to be working with him in 2014. Working with Mo, we'll educate consumers on the benefits of Quorn products and in turn, drive the penetration of the meat-free category." On the partnership, Mo Farah added: "As an athlete, maintaining a healthy lifestyle on and off the track is important to me. That's why I am proud to be working with Quorn – a healthy source of protein that's low in saturated fat." Big Communications CEO, Dylan Bogg, said: "Having worked with Quorn on the new positioning for the brand, we felt passionately about the importance of developing a communications strategy and execution that would truly shift perceptions. Targeting consumers that are committed to a fit and active lifestyle, we felt that Mo Farah was an ideal ambassador for the Quorn messaging. Given he is a global sporting icon, and especially with this being his first commercial deal, we are expecting to have a big impact with consumers." The new Quorn campaign launched on 1st January and will feature a high profile TV advertising campaign on air every month of the year, digital marketing, PR, and social media activity.
23.01.14//Volvo Cars UK appoint RLA to develop sales behaviours and performanceRLA have been appointed by premium car brand Volvo Car UK to design, build and run their national sales performance programme for the next three years. The Bournemouth and Belfast based integrated creative Agency have been tasked with supporting Volvo Car UK's next phase of ongoing sales success through the creation of a bespoke sales performance programme. The programme will utilise both on and offline communications, focusing on national and local dealer behaviours, knowledge and skill application. The famous Swedish premium car brand is riding the crest of a wave in 2014 with continuous sales growth and a wealth of exciting new product and technology. With demand remaining high for its product, the brand is enjoying the influx of new customers excited by the promise of design-led and advanced engineering car ownership that dares to take a different path to the rest. RLA's position as the UK's most experienced automotive Agency helped convince Volvo of the team's ability to develop the organisations sales capability in line with the increase in expectation from customers. With the goal of ensuring the long-standing and loyal sales network can engineer maximum advantage from the sales opportunity facing them over the next few years. Paul Smith, RLA's Strategy Director, said: "Volvo Car UK have quietly become one of the most exciting automotive brands in the market. They're now at the very forefront of vehicle design and technology, offering a compelling alternative to the increasingly anodyne German brands. However, in attracting increasing volumes of premium customers, the brand needs to adapt its sales behaviours with customers to continue to exceed their expectations. RLA's niche automotive insight into dealer behaviour will assist Volvo Car UK in achieving its performance growth in the UK over the next three years." RLA is part of The Mission Marketing Group plc (the missiontm), the national marketing communications and advertising group including Addiction, April-Six, Balloon Dog, Big Communications, Bray Leino, Robson Brown, ThinkBDW, Solaris, Story and Yucca
Makes us look way undervalued doesnt it. The sp has grown considerably since the silly dip it took, but hopefully the march figures will give confidence for a serious rerating here, making todays Buy price look very attractive.
Hi all Just looked at Cello Group statement. Size of group very similar to TMMG. No of shares in issue the same. Growth pattern slightly better. Mkt cap way higher. 700 people to 800 mission. Net assets similar? I need to research a bit more. So if TMMG are really on a recovery path, we have a potential uplift to very similar market price levels - 80p? SB
Hi all holders. This update has everything that we had hoped for. A very concise and hopefully cautious statement. The results will be what they had hoped for, so in March the icing on the cake would be a positive trading statement about this year. Yes it has also been an excellent day for juggling my holdings by adding to my isa and taking profits for CG purposes so keeping my holding levels up. :) SB
Very pleasing to see the reaction to good news. Business on track, debts reducing consistently for a long time now. Looking forward to the full details in March, and very glad I increased my holding a while back, excellent value appreciation of late.
Steady as she goes..... nice solid performance again. Very happy to hold this share
As expected. Bright future ahead now.

Still only slowing coming out of recession and this sector were hit hard. This is a real growth stock with a big couple years ahead.
Like your thinking, and I think it is entirely feasible. Surely businesses like those in this group will prosper as business confidence rises, causing more expansive promotional budgets, not to mention true value being apid for top rate work. The potential is all there, both here and abroad, we can hope that the team turn improving sentiment in to better turnover and margins.
