Manhattan Ad Agency purchased by Irish Marketing firm
February 11, 2009
The James Group advertising agency has been purchased by Belfast-based Spirit Marketing Group. The Ireland based firm is launching its US expansion plan.
“The acquisition of The James Group provides an excellent opportunity to buy into a successful company with an established network of clients and experienced staff which will strengthen our position in entering the US market for the first time.” noted Enda McShane, CEO of Spirit Marketing Group.
The James Group have seven full-time staff and an annual turnover of $1.7 million. James Connor will remain at The James Group for one year as a specialist consultant.
James Connor has also just published the book, The Perfection of Marketing. We personally know James, he’s an honest, straightforward guy and will be missed from the advertising agency industry. He is fully retiring from all aspects of advertising in 2010 and going on a three-year silent meditation retreat that marks the end of his 12 years of training to become a Buddhist Lama. Who says good people can’t work in marketing?
