PMG acquires UK-based digital marketing agency RocketMill. PMG CEO and founder George Popstefanov will lead the combined entity, leading about 900 staffers worldwide, who will all work as part of PMG. RocketMill, with a team of 200 employees across offices in London and Brighton, marks PMG’s second acquisition in its history—and its first in Europe—following the acquisition in October of Dallas-based Camelot Strategic Marketing & Media, agency buyers of video, OTT, and CTV. “Our similarities across people, offering, and ambition made RocketMill an obvious choice for accelerating our expansion into Europe. We believe this move positions us for tackling the headwinds that today’s customers face globally and reinforces our philosophy of always changing for the better,” said Popstefanov.
