(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One year ago, Hover Group completed the acquisition of Black Rock Marketing Group, now operating as BRMG. The past 12 months have marked a period of reflection, development, and the expansion of a new operating model.

Following the acquisition, BRMG adjusted from a traditional agency structure and began building a brokerage-style platform. This approach is designed to support experienced marketers - offering tools, systems, and shared services - while allowing them to retain ownership of their client relationships.

The first year has focused on building foundational systems, refining internal operations, and collaborating closely with our Operating Partners. The company has implemented shared infrastructure, introduced profit-sharing structures, and prioritized practical support that aligns with how modern marketing work is delivered.

"We set out to find a new way of doing things - and one year in, we're confident we're on the right path," said Alex Verdurmen, partner at BRMG. "We've spent the year listening, testing, and improving how we support independent marketers who want to thrive without giving up control. We are now ready to grow."

BRMG acknowledges the contributions of its Operating Partners, clients, and brands. Special recognition is extended to Tim Fallis, whose 25 years of leadership at Black Rock laid the groundwork for this new direction.
