About us

Results through specialist marketing

PMA launched 16 years ago as Parallel Marketing Associates. The vision was to work alongside different companies to solve their challenges and support the delivery of their marketing. A hands-on approach to working with individuals and teams.

Our perspective has not changed. Marketing is a discipline with many different elements. The integration of these is key. As a business PMA has become more specialised in what we deliver. At the same time, working with trusted Associates to ensure the right knowledge and expertise is always available.

PMA offer data protection, copywriting, and marketing campaign delivery – our areas of specialism. When you work with PMA you will access a wealth of experience and an ability to understand your requirements as part of the bigger picture. Skills our customers have relied on over the years.
