New York, NY – November 1, 2022 – Montieth & Company, a global communications consultancy, has achieved recognition as a finalist in the prestigious Business Intelligence 2022 Public Relations and Marketing Awards. These awards spotlight leading agencies and corporate departments that have demonstrated quantifiable business achievements for their clients.

Montieth M. Illingworth, co-CEO of Montieth SPRG and CEO & Global Managing Partner of Montieth & Company, remarked on the agency’s exceptional year characterized by high-value, innovative work for global clients. He expressed gratitude for the recognition by Business Intelligence, stating that looking ahead to 2023, their focus is on sustaining global growth, encompassing cross-border client partnerships, and venturing into new media and financial markets. In line with this vision, they are committed to enhancing the service offerings to meet the evolving needs of both new and existing clients in the dynamic global business landscape.

In its submission, Montieth & Company emphasized surpassing its goals over the past year. Notable achievements included establishing a presence in vital Latin American media markets and expanding its joint venture in Hong Kong, known as Montieth SPRG, serving the APAC region. M&Co diversified its offerings by introducing new sectors and capabilities, including a branding and website design practice group, which demonstrated growing expertise in multimedia marketing, influencer strategies, video production, and podcasts.

M&Co expanded its presence in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico by extending its cross-border collaboration with a global data and analytics company, complementing its existing support in North America, EMEA, and APAC, with additional engagement in the Latin American market. The company also provided support to NASDAQ-listed Brazilian edtech firm Afya in announcing its annual investor day in the US market.

In APAC, Montieth SPRG expanded its Hong Kong team with the addition of two new hires. The company played a key role in supporting climate tech firm BrainBox AI with a comprehensive public relations campaign in Australia and was retained by ImBee, a customer chat management platform, to enhance its brand presence in Hong Kong.

M&Co expanded its branding and website development practice group to complement its work in marketing communications and public relations. The firm led the rebranding of Gulf Environmental into Conifer Systems and the website redesign.

M&Co continued to witness robust demand for integrated marketing communications and public relations services, merging its extensive expertise in global finance and media markets with a deep understanding of emerging tech sectors. The company provided media support, branding, and website development in the energy transition sector for Archaea, a leading U.S. renewable natural gas company, during its acquisition by SPAC and its subsequent listing as a public company on the NYSE. Additionally, the company offered public relations support for the launch of Artory/Winston, which facilitates tokenized and diversified physical artwork funds through alternative trading channels and crypto marketplaces.
