My Story Part 4

Leading the internet revolution and dominating the web. Oh, and more shares!

And my story continues.

As I arrived at my first day at Scottish Media Group (SMG), my immediate task was to unpack the boxes which contained all the contents of my desk from the old Delphic office.

It was time to make Albion Street in Glasgow my new home (workplace) for the foreseeable future.

Delphic had been consumed into the much bigger beast that was SMG. Its portfolio included Scottish Television, Grampian Television, The Herald newspaper, The Evening Times newspaper, Sunday Herald newspaper, Primesight (outdoor advertising), Pearl & Dean (advertising) and Virgin Radio.

Later on, SMG bought Ginger Television (aka Ginger Productions) from Chris Evans for the tidy sum of £225 million. You might recall his TV programmes at the time – TFI Friday and Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush.

Delphic went from a relatively unknown new media company to a global brand riding on the back of SMG.

Our new clients also continued to be well-known brands such as the Hilton Group, AVIS and the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government was an interesting client. Why?...
