Directorate Change
Ben Langdon the CEO and founder of Digital Marketing Group plc has announced his resignation from the Group.Stephen Davidson, Chairman of Digital Marketing Group said: "Ben has created the UK's largest digital marketing agency. It's taken him nearly six years of his life. He's worked 24-7 and he now not surprisingly wants to take a rest and then go and explore different ventures. We'll all miss him enormously and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his vision, intellect, drive and commitment. Without him we would not have built Digital Marketing Group".
Ben Langdon said: "I've done what I aimed to do which is build the UK's largest digital marketing business. We're now market leaders in growth areas like eCommerce and we have recently won significant new online marketing accounts like Sky. I have just announced the integration of our entire business into one company and under one brand name, 20:20. It's now time for me to hand this business over to someone whose job it will be to make this the very best digital business in the UK, as well as the biggest. Whoever inherits my role will find an already brilliant and unified business with a unique multichannel proposition".
Keith Sadler, Chief Operating Officer and Finance Director, working closely with Charles Buddery, CEO of DMG pillar, and other key members of the operating team, will have day to day responsibilities of managing the business. In due course the Board will announce the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer.
Further, the Board confirms that the Group's trading results for the year ended 31 March 2011 are likely to be broadly in line with expectations, before exceptional items.
