Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The addition of Yeoman Technology Group represents MTP's tenth brand acquisition since its founding and strengthens the agency group's growing roster of specialized agencies.

Healey will remain with MTP to support the agency group's continued growth within the Retail Media space. He will report to Allison Potter and Joseph McConellogue, who are the Co-CEOs of Swell Media.

“Joining MTP gives Yeoman the opportunity to scale our expertise across a much broader client base while maintaining the specialized approach that has made us successful,” said Healey. “Our team is thrilled to collaborate with MTP's diverse agencies and leverage our combined capabilities to deliver even stronger results for clients in the rapidly evolving retail media ecosystem.”
