A Black Country marketing communications firm has secured a £52,000 funding package to take on new contracts and employ an additional member of staff.
Dudley-based Media Group, which was founded in 1998, provides a range of marketing support services and required a funding boost after experiencing an increase in demand following the disruption initially caused by covid pandemic.
It works with clients including nPower, Harrods, Burger King and Vax and will use this new funding to secure new contracts to provide services such as point of sale material, exhibition and digital display boards.
The capital has been provided from the Small Business Loan Fund, part of the Midlands Engine Investment Fund, which is managed by BCRS Business Loans.
