The Marketing Group - Acquisition of German wildcard

The Marketing Group (TMG) has made its first acquisition under the new management team. Although relatively small (FY16 revenues of €1.5m), wildcard fits well with Ranieri Communications, adding to its PR, social and influencer network. wildcard communications brings in a good range of blue-chip clients and opportunities for cross selling. Our FY18e and FY19e earnings estimates are nudged ahead, having being increased by 10% following the Q3 results. Industry interest in TMG’s start-up blockchain-enabled global media agency, Truth, has been very strong. Having spent time sorting out the inherited group, it is clear management is looking for profitable growth, which should lead to an improving rating.
