Media Contacts will be responsible for managing traditional display for IG Group's brands, including IG Index, as well as leveraging partnerships, mobile, video and other activity to generate account sign-ups.
Paul Frampton, the managing director at MPG Media Contacts said, "IG Group's heritage is based very much around data and technology so it's a very good fit for us.
IG Group launched in 1974 and operates in markets across Europe, as well as in the US, Australia and Singapore.
