As we said almost a week ago ‘RAM Investment Group Purchases ASG Media Assets [1]‘ and the official RNS for that acquisition (we repeat our belief that ASG Media was sold off far too quickly and far too cheaply) is below.
Gloucester Quays Digital 6-Sheets
VMG have just snapped up the contract at the Trafford Centre for the large LED that ASG Media initially had AND (better still, for VMG) have grabbed the contract for the already installed digital 6-sheets at Gloucester Quays [2].
This latter contract is particularly good. The kit is already ‘in the ground’, it’s modern, the right way round (i.e. portrait rather than TVs hanging from the ceiling) and Clear Channel must suddenly love VMG!
