Global move for ad agency

ONE of Ireland's most successful, creative and integrated marketing communications agencies, Ardmore Advertising in Holywood, has joined Worldwide Partners Inc (WPI), one of top 10 largest marketing communications networks in the world. Ardmore, which employs 40 staff, joins the globally-recognised roster of independent agencies after being selected by WPI "for its progressive and innovative approach." The move will help further expand its reach internationally and broaden its own capabilities through the access gained to an outstanding group of influential peers. Based in Colorado, WPI has more than 90 member agencies employing 4,200 people in 51 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, the Middle east and north America. Ardmore Advertising chief executive John Keane (pictured) said: "This gives us unrivalled access to a brand new set of companies and capabilities and the ability to expand further both at home and abroad."
