Months after its 2016 acquisitions of NJFPR and Myriad Marketing, travel, hospitality and entertainment marketing agency MMGY Global has now physically accommodated that expansion with the opening of a new flagship New York office in midtown Manhattan.

The 16,000-square-foot space, which occupies a single-floor office at 360 Lexington Avenue near Grand Central Station, effectively triples MMGY’s New York team, combining three separate area offices under one roof.
The move comes after MMGY acquired Los Angeles-based lifestyle and travel firm Myriad Marketing in December — a deal which included travel and hospitality shop Spring O’Brien, which Myriad acquired in 2015 — as well as the agency’s October acquisition of New York-based hotel, destination and lifestyle shop NJFPR, a deal which effectively doubled the size of MMGY’s PR practice.
The agency’s New York outpost now services travel, tourism and hospitality clients and houses more than 65 of MMGY’s 300-plus worldwide staff.
MMGY, which was founded in 1981, maintains additional offices in Kansas City, Orlando, Ft. Myers, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Madrid.
