Director dealings: Ebiquity interim CEO ups stake

Ebiquity revealed on Thursday that interim chief executive Alan Newman had acquired 100,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed media agency.

Newman, who also acts as Ebiquity's CFO, purchased the shares on Wednesday at an average price of 30p each, for a total value of £30,000.

Back in February, Ebiquity said it had traded in line with expectations in 2019 after the strong momentum witnessed in the first half of the year carried on into the second.

Ebiquity said it continued to experience good revenue growth in its advanced analytics, ad tech and contract compliance units during the year, while also maintaining "tight control" of operating costs despite media practice revenues falling slightly year-on-year.

As of 1645 BST, Ebiquity shares were down 1.69% at 29p.
