Browne Jacobson advises Inspired Thinking Group on TMS acquisition


9 June 2010


Corporate lawyers at Browne Jacobson have advised Inspired Thinking Group (ITG) on its strategic acquisition of software development company Total Marketing Service (TMS) backed by £3.2m investment from ISIS Equity Partners.

Birmingham based marketing services company ITG specialises in helping businesses operate more efficiently by offering innovative campaign planning, content control and print management services.

The company was established in 2009 by CEO Simon Ward following his acquisition of three Birmingham-based marketing businesses. The group's projected turnover for 2010 is £15 million.

Jo Bligh, Corporate Partner at Browne Jacobson, lead on the deal. She commented:

“ITG has come a long way in such a short space of time. With Simon Ward at the helm and an already impressive client portfolio that includes the likes of Marks & Spencer, Punch Taverns and KFC the company’s long term prospects look very strong. TMS has a great synergy with ITG and its major strengths support ITG’s expansion plans. This latest acquisition is a perfect fit for ITG as it looks to develop cutting edge marketing solutions for its growing commercial client base.”
