MARCO, the most awarded agency in the last decade, specialised in brand building and reputation management, announces today that it is expanding its communication capabilities across the African continent, through the acquisition of a majority stake in Africa Communications Media Group (ACG).

In addition, MARCO services well over 100 clients from its now 16 owned offices globally.
