Adventis Group plc ('Adventis' or 'the Group'), the specialist multimedia and
marketing agency, is pleased to announce that its recently established financial
services subsidiary Adventis NMG Ltd ('AdventisNMG' or 'the Company') has
already won its first customers.

Global loss adjusting and claims management services group, GAB Robins, has
appointed AdventisNMG to develop and help run an online staff survey web as part
of their commitment to providing market leading service to the insurance
industry.

In a second win, a leading Financial PR firm in the financial services sector
has retained the Company to develop a new brand and corporate identity.

In a further win, AdventisNMG is providing strategy and market testing for the
brand development of the new Bristol Science Park. This account was won in
conjunction with the Adventis Group commercial property team.

Nick Baker, Managing Director of AdventisNMG, said, 'The feedback we have been
getting on our proposition has been extremely encouraging. We have also
benefited from a flow of work on behalf of NMG Ltd, one of our founding
shareholders, for our innovative creative pre-testing service to a range of
financial services companies.'

'Clients really value our integrated approach to marketing, design and
communications based on deep market and consumer insight. We are currently
working on more new ideas for our products and services including an innovative
approach to point of sale data collection. We are optimistic about business
levels in 2005.'

Charles Phillpot, CEO of Adventis commented, 'I am delighted that AdventisNMG is
making such good early progress towards achieving its potential. Trading for the
whole Group continues to be positive, with a number of new projects, including
most recently a three year appointment to help market a major development in
Birmingham, and this gives us a solid platform combined with our strong cash
position for further joint ventures and acquisitions.'
