Growth Across All Disciplines

The growth of 13.6% was generated across all divisions of UDG United Digital Group. Main drivers in 2013 have been the sectors of performance marketing, digital marketing and e-commerce as well as the unbreakable mobile boom, from which UDG has also benefited. Moving forward, in addition to performance marketing and creation, the new UDG will also increase the focus on services in the fields of digital brand strategy, consulting and technology.

With this mindset, UDG could enthuse with its wide set of services amongst others clients like Porsche, Hugo Boss and Vodafone. Whilst collaborating these skill sets in 2013, UDG managed to win more popular brands such as Bentley and Jungheinrich AG with a broad profile of requirements as new clients.
