We’re not coy. In fact, we’re the opposite. But confidentiality is of paramount importance to us and our clients. We don’t reveal our clients’ names, suffice to say we work with government departments, semi-state bodies, public and private companies, industry bodies and with private individuals.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
It’s getting harder for businesses to influence others, for business purposes, as traditional media continues its decline. The standard press release is almost now a thing of the past. The Media Group has developed an unrivalled track record in writing engaging B2B content for use on clients’ websites, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts.
But The Media Group goes one step beyond. Our team have all been in business, as owners or significant shareholders, for decades. We understand reconnaissance; how to find, make contact and influence potential business prospects for our clients, worldwide.
