that would be good, however im thinking we should either get something with the EGM on the 17th depending what time that finishes, but being a friday I guess clearer news sometime the following week! certainly going to be good Im confident of that....but DYOR

[go_baby_go] 14/12/2010 08:34

This may well tick up further today ahead of the 17th.

[equitydealer007] 11/12/2010 09:52

I think you need the creator of the thread to remove it, so unless power talker is about we are stuck with it, unless someone wants to start new one.

[giantpeach2] 11/12/2010 08:47

Have aggregators had their day?
Comments:2 Add your comment

A few years ago it was fashionable for entrepreneurs in the marketing services industry to search out a company – probably already listed on the stock exchange – and transform it into a mini WPP Group by acquiring as many businesses as possible involved in supplying marketing services of one sort or another.

Creston did it. Cello did it. Media Square did it. Cagney sort of did it. Mission under-did it. Incepta over-did it. But none of them have succeeded in the way that WPP succeeded, not least perhaps because WPP started by focussing on design consultancies and then took the first opportunity to leapfrog into a different league by acquiring an established global network in the shape of J Walter Thompson.

So what makes David Wright, Adam Reynolds and Paul Foulger think they can make a success of their newly acquired vehicle Porta Communications, announced last week? What lessons can they learn from the past?

Some of the more successful public companies in the sector have focussed primarily or initially on acquiring companies engaged in a single discipline – like public relations (Huntsworth, Chime and Next Fifteen) or media buying (Aegis Group). Before them, there were a fistful of companies that had their roots in advertising like Abbott Mead Vickers, Lowe Howard Spink and Boase Massimi Pollitt.

A single discipline does not guarantee success, but it possibly gives a clearer initial focus and enables investors to have a better idea of the business in which they have risked their money. It also gives the management a better chance of understanding what they are managing.

Additionally it's probably important to build scale as soon as practicable because the stock market has little time for minnows. And minnows can't afford to acquire much else.

Porta will make a very interesting test case of whether the days of marketing company aggregators have past.

[equitydealer007] 09/12/2010 22:23

well i expect critics to be silenced come the 17th/20th! but karm i do agree there is massive potential here.......that i have no doubt...dyor

[karm] 09/12/2010 17:28

ED, I think you maybe underestimating the potential here. Personnally I don't think its going to be stay around this level for very long. Seem like David has a plan and I'm sure all will be revealed over the coming weeks/months. K.

[equitydealer007] 09/12/2010 16:52

Think you'll be surprised, I can see these being 0.5p by end of December.

[sean caruana] 09/12/2010 14:30

All shares are currently not showing any trades on plus so once resolved it will be interesting to see what the actual volume has hit today and if any other large trades have gone through. GLA

[equitydealer007] 09/12/2010 14:15

I doubt we will see any shakes this side of the egm, i should think we may see a few points rise come the 20th...........2 years in the planning must hold some good news surely....lol....gla

[rexnash] 09/12/2010 14:01

I think it will go much higher before they start shaking

[gerri-c] 09/12/2010 13:58

Without the requisite decimal, I wish! :-)

[joe moon] 09/12/2010 13:56

[equitydealer007] 09/12/2010 13:44

[giantpeach2] 09/12/2010 13:10

well im in for the ride, lets see what happens on the 17th then. 1 mil @ .15.5

[rexnash] 09/12/2010 12:59

I didnt realise how massive this could be, but a bit of research into incepta, and huntsworth, i think i will stick around for a couple of years, it could be massive! massive!!!

[rexnash] 09/12/2010 12:32
