The Department for Business and Trade has contracts with Manning Gottlieb OMD to provide media buying services to support our export and investment promotion, as part of the GREAT Britain campaign, both in the UK and internationally.

All the payments listed are for such media buying services. Paid marketing campaigns require the purchase of media space in regional, national and international channels.
