Notes to Editors:

Digital Marketing Group (AIM: DIGI) listed on AIM in October 2006, employs over 550 people and has a market capitalisation of over £50m. 

Digital Marketing Group is a digital communications group that uses the principles of direct marketing to inform everything that it does.

Digital Marketing Group is not a marketing services group. It is a specialist in digital communications and underpins its expertise with some of the best direct and data marketing people in the UK.

Digital Marketing Group is the 4th biggest digital marketing business in the UK (Campaign Magazine 2007).

The Group believes that the boundaries between digital and direct marketing are now blurred and that "Good digital marketing is good direct marketing".

At the heart of the company is Digital Brain - a process which enables the real time integration of "digital, direct and data". This helps create unique contact strategies for each individual based on their historical data and real time interactions regardless of channel.

Digital Marketing Group's development strategy consists of three key elements:

"buy and build" - through the acquisition of a number of well run and profitable businesses with complementary skills in digital direct marketing; 

"organic growth" - driven by the inherent growth within the acquired businesses and the application of a group business development programme; and 

the creation of new businesses from within the existing talents and resources of the group.
