IMG ranks No. 109 in FT1000 as B2B data cleanup demand grows

London-based IMG (Intermedia Global Ltd) landed at No. 109 on the FT1000 2026 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, a recognition that comes as B2B teams struggle with incomplete CRM data. The agency is using that momentum to spotlight its data enrichment work, which turns thin or outdated records into verified, GDPR-compliant marketing inputs.

Why it matters: - Incomplete CRM data can push B2B marketing teams to waste ad spend, miss segments and report on unreliable numbers. - Clean, verified records help companies improve targeting, personalization and campaign measurement. - IMG’s ranking gives the agency a stronger platform as more B2B teams look for help fixing data quality problems.

What happened: - IMG (Intermedia Global Ltd), a London-based B2B marketing consultancy, ranked 109th in the FT1000 2026. - The FT1000, published by the Financial Times and Statista, tracks the 1,000 European companies with the highest revenue growth between 2021 and 2024. - The ranking follows IMG’s earlier inclusion in the top 10 UK agencies in the B2B Marketing UK Agencies Benchmarking Report 2026. - IMG works with marketing teams at HSBC, Shell and Broadcom.

The details: - IMG operates across four service areas: marketing operations, data, marketing technology and campaigns. - The agency uses a Marketing Experience, or MX, approach focused on the operational foundations that shape marketing execution. - IMG’s data enrichment services add missing firmographic details and contact information to customer and prospect records. - The company says the process uses verified, GDPR-compliant data so targeting, personalization and reporting rely on accurate records. - IMG says its four-step process starts with auditing CRM data, then appending missing or outdated fields, verifying the updates for accuracy and compliance, and returning enriched records ready for CRM or marketing system integration. - B2B data changes quickly as people change jobs, companies restructure and new leads arrive incomplete. - Different systems also capture data inconsistently, which can leave marketing teams with thin records.

Between the lines: - The FT1000 ranking is more than a bragging right for IMG; it signals that demand for operational marketing services is strong enough to support fast growth. - IMG is positioning data quality as a core business issue, not a back-office cleanup task. - CEO Steve Kemish said bad data quietly weakens campaigns and that the FT1000 ranking shows clients value getting the foundations right.

What's next: - IMG is likely to keep leaning on its growth ranking and agency credentials as it sells data enrichment and broader marketing operations work. - The company serves clients globally from offices in London and Bedford and traces its origins to 2003. - IMG’s LinkedIn page is available here.

The bottom line: - IMG’s FT1000 placement underscores a broader B2B problem: marketing teams cannot scale cleanly without accurate CRM data, and agencies that solve that problem have an opening to grow.
