“TMG will be nothing short of a new way to amplify results by communicating with our consumers and customers through a myriad of touchpoints,” said Robert Machinist, CEO of Troika Media Group.
“We’re creating the first agile comprehensive communications agency that brings together the very best experienced senior executives in every discipline that we offer to our clients.
“We are proud to offer the very best brand, experience, design, digital, public relations, and advertising operators in the business from New York, Los Angeles and London.”
Nicola Stephenson, Founder of Mission, who joins the board of TMG and will become President of the new group, said: “Modern clients understand that culturally connected, personality-led, one-to-one brand and product efforts are the best way to gain fan love and motivate sales.
“TMG has taken its brand, culture, and advertising credentials, coupled with expertise in design, creating experiences, public relations, and digital communications, to build a fast, agile and accountable business model.
“In addition, we will continue to develop intellectual property in our work and in the businesses that we are looking to acquire.”
Simultaneously today, it was announced that Jon Forsyth, co-founder of UK agency Adam & Eve DDB, will join TMG working with Nicola Stephenson as a strategic partner, focusing on growing TMG’s business globally.
