MITIE gets more creative with DeepRed55

The DeepRed Marketing Group has been operating for over 30 years, and the recent investment from MITIE, the strategic outsourcing and energy services company, has really taken it to a new level. 

The newly rebranded DeepRed55 is a fully-integrated creative and marketing business. It brings together MITIE’s existing creative services business with DeepRed’s expertise in advertising, branding and online marketing strategies such as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), social media and website design. C

urrently in development is DeepRed55’s new JungleDrum technology, which transmits advertisements and messages to mobile phone users via Bluetooth, giving consumers access to discounts free of charge. 

The business also offers a wide range of creative design services including graphic design, digital and direct marketing, video presentations and exhibitions, providing a fully-serviced marketing agency offering to both existing and future clients.

Martyn Freeman, managing director of MITIE’s Facilities Management division said: “This is a very exciting development that complements our ability to think creatively when it comes to facilities management.” 

Lloyd Bantleman, CEO of DeepRed55 said: “We’re really looking forward to being part of MITIE and joining two teams of professionals committed to embracing modern technology and innovation. Teaming with MITIE enables us to offer a range of new online and offline creative services that until now has not been available in the market."

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 61,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.9bn, and a reputation for being the best.
