Also from a business point of view this is a good move, promote the person who has built and run the most succcesful sub and give them a bigger market to replicate the success strategy.

Bodes well for the future I think.

My thoughts as well.

No management control but perhaps a dividend some time!!!

I thought DGM still owns 49% of the UK Business, so it must still have an impact?

Does the UK business still use the DGM name or have they changed since the
buyout

DELL Search - dgm Australia and DELL

dgm Australia took out the inaugural Search category with its Dell Search ANZ campaign which, in keeping with Dell's requirements for any of its marketing activity, had to demonstrate an increase in Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). dgm began with in-depth analysis to establish SEM's position within the media mix and to what extent it was affected by the 'halo' of activity in other media channels. It was this multi-channelled analysis that allowed dgm to recognise the impact of this activity and optimise timing and media messages accordingly. The use of multi-variant testing that was initiated across search copy and landing pages was also praised by the judges. Aiming to remove any guesswork from communicating with potential consumers, the campaign allowed Dell to effectively test thousands of combinations of messages, landing pages and consumer offers at one time thus increasing ROAS by over 50%.

Luckily, that no longer impacts on us!
From what I hear from Singapore, their Asian operation is well-respected.

I hope Adrian's areas are doing better than the UK. They have announced the closure of the major J D Williams catalogue account this week.

That gives me confidence.....back to 3p by Christmas?

From Growth Company Investor

Companies: DGM
24/04/2008

Re-positioning away from its UK operations to focus on the faster-growing Asia Pacific markets Deal Group Media has meant fundamental and expensive reorganisation for the company.

The group recorded a post-tax loss of £6.9m in 2007 after selling 51% of its UK operations to management for £1.5m cash leaving it with an 'undiluted focus' on Asia-Pacific through its Australian business. This arm is profitable and hoisted sales 49% to £8.5m during the year, also launching satellite operations in India and Singapore.

DGM provides search engine and affiliate marketing services for advertisers, and sells advertising on behalf of a network of media owners. It is exporting this business model throughout the Asia Pacific region and has now relocated the UK team to Australia. The region offers a lower cost base than the UK and comparatively less competitive and complicated markets.

Chairman David Lees points to Asia's 39% of global internet usage and says the market is still 'early stage' in terms of the penetration of digital advertising. He believes this will allow the company to quickly create substantial market presences in 2008 with new regional offices planned for Hong Kong, the Philippines and Malaysia.

With the new positioning offering positive results and 49%-owned UK operations now regarded as 'discontinued', DGM is in a good place to use its expertise to create a market-leading role in its new market space. The share price has suffered over the past year and sits at 1p, down from a 2007 high of 3.75p. The future looks brighter down under and if you held on so far we recommend keeping watch for a little while longer at least. Hold.

David Russell

So far heard nothing. Would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall at the Broker meetings!
I assume David Lees was also there, and hopefully helped Moss put on at least a competent performance

Hi L B

Yes it was a good chat with Adrian at the AGM.

I hope to attend this year as well.

Have you seen any forecasts for 2008 or even a broker report.

I understand Adrian was meeting with the brokers last week

Moss is a rolling stone, I gather.

My take on DGM (in its current form) is that not only has Adrian Moss built an identical business from scratch before, albeit only to see it slide back again, but he has all/most off his personal wealth tied up in the business; he sold his UK property for a quarter of a million and pumped it into DGM shares a while back before going out to Singapore (as I recall), so he has every incentive to see DGM succeed - an incentivised scenario I like to see with directors/business managers.

I chatted at length with him at the last AGM and got a reasonable insight into how he sees things panning out in the Asia-Pacific region and how he sees the business unfolding. Personally I'm quietly confident of a successful outcome.

The main thing I didn't like about DGM (as was, in the UK) is that they always had far too many staff but still failed to satisfy customers needs, so the business suffered badly and declined. I'm sure this was primarily down to the many failings of the technology platform the business was built around, which they seemed to have little direct control over, both in terms of cost and damage to the business.

I'm sure Adrian Moss will be only too well aware of what went wrong last time and endeavour to avoid the same pitfalls in the future.

agree with that. Think DGM is the pits but David Lees is a smart cookie. If there is any hope left in this then it's him. Still think though in heart of hearts that this is an over and out.

Worth remembering that Moss is probably now on a short leash. David Lees is an old "acquaintance" of mine, and has pulled off a number of spectacularly clever financial maneouvres, especially with AIM companies, over the last few years.
He is a no-nonsense Australian, who was a director of this company in its earliest incarnation, and still has, I suspect, a large holding which he will no doubt want to turn into hard cash at some stage.
I am still in because I bellieve that if we ride on his coat-tails, he will get value for the shareholders by some means or another.....and I do not mean in 5 years time.

Blackster I was refering to the 49% that they still own.
