The Mission Marketing Group plc



Acquisition of Raymond Loewy International Limited (trading as Speed Communications) and creation of standalone PR business





The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the missiontm', AIM: TMMG), the marketing communications and advertising group, is pleased to announce the acquisition ("the Acquisition") of Raymond Loewy International Limited ("Speed Communications") and its concurrent merger with Bray Leino PR (the specialist PR division of Bray Leino) to create a separate standalone PR business with revenues in excess of £5m, to be known as Speed Communications.



Speed Communications is a London-based PR Agency, employing 25 staff and working with a broad portfolio of prestigious Clients including The Economist, The FT, adidas, GSK and Lucozade Sport.



Bray Leino PR, employing 40 staff, has offices in Bristol and London and encompasses both consumer and lifestyle and B2B Clients including Virgin Media, Remington, Samsung, Wincanton and RAC.



The two PR businesses will merge to create a new PR offering with real critical mass in the industry, specialising in the Sport, Media, Technology, Consumer & Lifestyle, and Business & Corporate sectors. It will represent a separate Specialist Activity Agency in the missiontm portfolio, and report directly to the missiontm board.



Executive Chairman of the missiontm, David Morgan, said: "The acquisition of Speed Communications and the merger with Bray Leino PR gives us the opportunity to create an exciting new force in PR, offering a wide range of multi-channel and multi-sector capabilities. We are delighted to welcome Kate Bosomworth and her team into the missiontm family and have no doubt that by joining forces with Bray Leino PR the potential for growth is significant."



Kate Bosomworth, MD and a minority shareholder in Speed Communications prior to the Acquisition, added: "We've always been ambitious for growth and the opportunity to combine with Bray Leino PR to form not only a dynamic new PR business but a significantly strengthened leadership team, will allow us to drive accelerated growth in our areas of specialism. Importantly, it will also deliver real synergies, enabling our Clients and teams to benefit from extended expertise and so deliver the big ambitions of all."



The Acquisition of Speed Communications is not a substantial acquisition as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies. As part of the initial consideration for the Acquisition, the missiontm will issue 600,000 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"). Further consideration may be payable, subject to Speed Communications' future performance.



Application has been made for the 600,000 new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company, to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to be effective from 8.00 am on 13th November 2014. Subsequent to the issue of these new Ordinary Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will be 83,398,195 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury. Accordingly, after Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 83,398,195.

Signal Update

Our system’s recommendation today is to STAY LONG. The previous BUY signal was issued on 23/10/2014, 18 days ago, when the stock price was 40.3000. Since then TMMG.L has risen by +11.66%.

Market Outlook

The bulls are in full control. The negative sentiment that led to the last bearish pattern has evaporated. Besides, the signal is suggesting to STAY LONG. It is best to follow the signal and continue to hold this security.

Trading update and director change



The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the missiontm', AIM: TMMG), the marketing communications and advertising group, today issues the following trading update ahead of its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015, due to be announced on 24 September.



Revenue and profit for the first half of 2015 are expected to show double digit growth over the equivalent period last year, benefiting from both organic growth and the acquisitions made in the second half of last year. The group's net debt fell from £9.4m at 31 December 2014 to £8.3m at 30 June 2015, and the group's leverage ratios (the ratios of net bank debt and total debt to EBITDA) remain comfortably within the limits set by the Board for these key performance indicators.

The group has made five acquisitions over the last twelve months, merged two of its existing Integrated Generalist Agencies and launched a new Specialist Agency from scratch. It has been a busy time and our recent focus has been on bedding these new businesses into the group. Looking to the future, we will seek to exploit the opportunities for further growth these new businesses bring and in addition we will continue to explore opportunities to extend our range and reach further in response to Client demand.

Our results for the year to 31 December 2015 are again expected to have a bias towards the second half and the Board remains confident of meeting market expectations for the full year.


the missiontm also announces Stephen Boyd's intention to step down from the board at the end of the year.



Stephen, who joined the board in December 2009 as a non-executive director, has a number of business interests beyond the missiontm and has decided to concentrate on these after having served the Company for six years.



David Morgan, Group Chairman, commented: "Stephen joined us in very different times and was instrumental in steering the Company through its refinancing in 2010. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his valuable contribution to the board over the years and we wish him well for the future."

IC - Mission marketing shares have risen by nearly a third since our buy tip 20 Feb 2014. But they still trade on just eight times 2015 forecast earnings - a 40% discount to those of marketing peers. That looks remarkably cheap given the groups talent for integrating acquisitions and track record of cash generation and profit growth.

Acquisition of Chapter Agency Limited





The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the missiontm', "the Company", AIM: TMMG), the marketing communications and advertising group, is pleased to announce that it has acquired Chapter Agency Limited which includes the recently acquired Bell and Watson Limited (together "Chapter"). Initial consideration of £1.3m is payable in cash on completion. Further consideration of up to £3.7m is payable subject to financial performance in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, of which the first £0.2m will be payable in ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Acquisition").



About Chapter



Established in 2009, Chapter is a Midlands-based advertising agency employing 29 people and has an extensive client base including Nissan, Yardley, Topps Tiles, Crowdcube, Calor and Virgin Trains. Since launching, it has been voted National Advertising Agency of the Year at the Marketing Industry Awards and this month was the most nominated Agency at the prestigious Cream Awards 2015, winning in seven categories. Chapter Agency Limited also recently acquired Bell and Watson Limited, a consultancy that delivers specialist digital marketing services.



In the 12 months to 31 March 2014, Chapter had a turnover of £1.9m, profits of £0.4m and, at 31 March 2014, had total assets of £1m.



Commenting, David Morgan, Executive Chairman of the missiontm said:



"I am delighted to welcome Chapter to the missiontm portfolio. We have admired Chapter and its unique approach for quite some time and we are really looking forward to working with them as part of the missiontm. Chapter's team members already share a similar culture to us, making this a perfect fit. Their strategic expertise, creativity and strong team will complement our portfolio of Agencies and our shared knowledge can only strengthen Chapter's ethos of Sharper & Better."



Mike Rose, Managing Director of Chapter said:



"In just under 7 years, we have built a very special Agency and grown an extraordinary team. We feel very proud that the success and quality of Chapter has been recognised by the missiontm.



"Our culture has been a massive part of what makes Chapter different so we are impressed with how the missiontm allows its Agencies to stand alone and operate independently within the supporting strength of the Group. This is going to be a strong, collaborative and really exciting partnership enabling us to explore new initiatives together while preserving the closeness and understanding that are the heart of the Agency."
