Media agencies merge creating new job hopes

8 October 2008 15:08

Media agencies Mike Colling and Company (MC&C) have merged with rivals PI Media in a move that could create new media sales jobs as the company looks to expand its impressive portfolio.

Despite the merger meaning the new company will be called MC&C, PI Media founder Ian Prager is to remain in place after years of healthy rivalry between him and MC&C director Mike Colling.

"Ian and I have competed with each other at our respective agencies across the years, each of us winning business from the other," Mr Colling told Precision Marketing.

"His arrival here adds a huge weight of experience and expertise to the MC&C team."

Commenting on the merge, Mr Prager, who also founded Prager Proximity and was a managing director of CIA Direct, said that MC&C's reputation precedes them.

"I’ve long been impressed by MC&C's ability to deliver real value to their clients' business," he said.

"They're the type of people who you'd want with you if things turned nasty."

In a separate shake-up at the agency, more media jobs may be created with the departure of head of media Spencer Stratford and head of commercial services Paul Cox.
