Quite an interesting read http://www.economicvoice.com/virgin-nab-and-santander-eye-up-318-rbs-branches/5006502#ixzz0es31AZOg

Looks like the same guy http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/legal-affairs/coffee-cups-to-mea-culpa-bagging-rival-lands-adman-in-hot-water/story-e6frg97x-1225770013234 Quite a storm in a tea cup really lol...looks like both party,s got plenty of media attention though...Well spotted

Morning having spoken to Ian i also found him very pleasant and honest. Obviously he cant say too much at all and wouldnt really expect him to but i did get the impression that all is well in Australia aswell.Reacon the 1st anyone has heard of ATM4MEDIA was yesterday, the key to me was the link with tran/media via Duncan Mulready interesting to see what happens in the upcoming weeks,all looks good for IDG in my opinion GLA

yep ok mate..big part of the jigsaw i reacon,have managed to top up as the sells have come in..was hoping for a sub 20p but been beaten to it a few times.. Still very much into TMMG but stopped posting as all the ramping accusations started flooding in..the research is out there but they can find it themselves,not really into arguing with keyboard warriors. Good thing about this bb ,its been free from all that. Ta for the heads up on what you mentioned will take a look....GBO has stirred again after being in it for 6mths plus now . Heavy research on eu framework funding and future contracts,but might suit your way of research aswell....Be lucky mate

Hi all well the Australlian plot just gets thicker and thicker take a look here http://atmmarketplace.com/article.php?id=11681&na=1 note the names at the bottom "ATM4MEDIA directors Richard Whaite and Duncan Mulready. " Now if we got to transaction media http://www.transactionmedia.com.au/news.html and click on the "download PR Release at the bottom of that you will find no other than "For national sales enquiries please call Duncan Mulready on 0413999797 or for more details email info@transactionmedia.com.au " An educted guess on the ATM4MEDIA 6000 machines would be from First Data,s company "cash card" The mention of entering the UK and USA in the next couple of weeks i find very interesting aswell. IDG have the uk monopolised and be near on impossible for anyone to get started (ncr/mia) tried in 2008 and had no joy as for the USA a minefield unless you have a reseller already...Your thoughts Gents?

Not sure if you sure if you have seen this toady Frank1e " we see the potential for significant value in Sigma's venture capital portfolio" which was in an rns this morning from sigma http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10360396 Mark Hogarth being a director of both companies and sigma a major shareholder of IDG

Thanks for the link and tips yesterday mate handy to know......as for the free float agree its not many at all, GL mate really believe patience will be rewarded here big time..

Good find Frankie glad to see you signed up to Edison . Found it to be very helpfull for research...happy to sit and wait for what we all know...shame Edison doesnt do as much research lol GL mate and all in here...

Looks like a good job! http://dundee.gumtree.com/dundee/21/52693521.html

Hi mate glad to see you are still around..happy to keep posting and holding this one as the potential is so good. personally i feel this share will takeoff big time. Could be the news next week or the week after or after that but the research is complete and accurate as yesterdays RNS pointed out Remember a while back someone posted everyone should have a company like this in there portfollio and agree with that 100%. Bit of a waiting game but a good chance to top up for me. GLA

This makes interesting reading regarding budgets for advertising spends..If Idg are going down the FMCG advertising market its good to see some the companies at the top of the list are involved in the fast moving consumer goods sector...ohh and supermarkets, http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/wide/893106/ Also good to note the recall on ATM ads is 80% which is far higher than any other form of Digital out of home marketing.

Yes i guess it could have been worded better ,but having said that its still a very positive RNS they mentioned last week they had big ambitions for the next 12 months and today we see why. I guess because we have found so much on the Australian expansion it would have been great to know all the I,s are dotted and the t,s crossed. But i am sure once that happens we will be the first to know. Great little company and i have no intention of even topslicing until it hits over 50p. In my opinion the next RNS will big the big one! GLA

Yes a very positive RNS that also confirms all we have found on the overseas expansion !!!

Thanks for your reply....yes it all happens here although a quiet but very friendly bb lol.. Good bunch in here i believe invested in a company that will prove to be as astute as many of the posters that frequent here. Well the morning brings the AGM hopefully its not too much to ask for an update on what we have known for months lol. I have to admit the Tescos trial with the new software that enables multi campaigns was a bit of a suprise!! as indeed the Sainsbury,s link I guess that answers the large amount of costs of the R&D last year. However what it does do is leave the competition well behind and could all tie into the Australian and USA interest. Best of luck all lets hope we get the news we already know!

Looks like its not only Tescos !! Sainsburys seem to have been at it aswell. Quote from Alex Blake Head of ATM Channel at Sainsbury's Bank plc "I am currently managing the delivery of ATM Screen Advertising project which is due to rollout in October 2009" http://www.linkedin.com/ppl/webprofile?action=vmi&id=27664266&pvs=pp&authToken=S8hT&authType=name&trk=ndir_viewmore&lnk=vw_pprofile

Just so the importance of that last post does not get missed i will add. Up until now we have seen 2 week promotions from one company . What we have here is another ball game all together 12 Different companies advertising on the same campaign over a period of a month!!! If we look at last weeks news update http://www.i-designplc.com/i-design-news/i-design-strengthens-atmad-media-sales-with-new-appointment.html A couple of points stood out "The appointment comes as atmAd announces a major restructure of its UK sales team with a focus on promoting their national proposition and in particular their growing strength in the FMCG sector" FMCG ie Fast moving consumer goods supermarkets have quite alot of them. And the other bit that caught my eye ""We have very ambitious plans for the next twelve months and this new team structure will enable us to provide outdoor media specialists, agencies and clients with tailored advice on how best to maximize their media spend. James’ extensive expertise and experience working on award winning campaigns will provide a valuable addition to our strategic expertise in agency relations and will be at the forefront of our 2010 sales strategy", commented Justin Stark, National Sales Director at atmAd."

This is new !! atmAd delivers bar-code voucher opportunity to shoppers atmAd has just delivered its most complex month-long campaign across ATMs at Tesco stores. 12 different promotions were rotated via 2,253 ATMs, ranging from money off crisps and biscuits to discounts on travel insurance and tesco.com deliveries. Each campaign delivered a bespoke branded ATM receipt featuring a bar-coded voucher, which could be instantly redeemed in-store, as over 85% of Tesco customers use the ATM before shopping

That is a very good find...well done i checked that link 2 weeks ago and it was live..be interesting to see the updated version... Thanks very much for pointing it out..Frankie the web is too complicated for me now !! I do have an idea but happy to wait and see.. GLA and have a great weekend

No i hadnt seen those mate ta, I Do feel the first data possition is relevent though as it means they are taking the next step and endorsing the concept. However i cant be 100% on the first data and IDG link the only connections i can find are they are aware and have mentioned IDG in previous research papers,Steve Newton also held a high up Position in FD before he branched out on his own. Its could be a coincidence that IDG have been active in AUS at the same time that FD decide to trial ATM ads. However from the latest report on IDG it does state they are looking to sell the software to companies on a recurring revenue rather than just a one off payment so i hope that is the case. Also the job description states dealing with ad agencies and i really hope that IDG have something to do with that as again from the 2009 report the upturn in revenue from that area is 80% and a great sector to be in. Which ever way you look at it IDG are in Australia and the signs are that the interest is also good enough for expansion,dont forget that IDG have the experience and trust and are world leaders in this market. Not long to the agm the 26th and i believe alot info more will become public. GL mate and thanks for your posts..

looks like the first data /cash card trial went ok they seem to be employing someone full time https://sjobs.brassring.com/1033/ASP/TG/cim_jobdetail.asp?jobId=182437&PartnerId=25097&SiteId=5013&type=search&codes=A-IINDEED
