Company overview

BGF invested £5m into The Exchange Lab, a programmatic marketing company, in November 2013.

We enjoyed tremendous support from BGF over the past two years and we could have happily continued our growth plans with their backing. At the same time, they have wholly supported our decision to progress to the next stage of our development as part of WPP’s GroupM.
