Cheltenham-based agency Target Direct has acquired Scottish marketing agency 7-26.
The new agency will be called Target 7-26.
Target’s Managing Director Stephen Pidgeon
told Professional Fundraising magazine that he believes Target 7-26 could triple
its income to £5 million in just two or three years.

The company becomes the fifth in the Target Direct stable, which together cover 
Web design, data management, print, and direct marketing.

7-26’s director Claire Welsh stays on as managing director of Target 7-26, and co-
founder Iain Ferguson is to become creative director at Target’s offices in Cheltenham.
