SINGAPORE - Homegrown advertising agency Addiction Advertising has joined The Marketing Group, a digital marketing and advertising agglomeration, as part of its expansion strategy.

In a statement, Lionel Lim, Addiction Advertising MD, said the strategic partnership provides scale and access to a suite of complementary marketing services that will enable the company to operate more cost-efficiently and grow its business through partnership and collaboration.
