CP Media Expands With Adverta Acquisition
CP Media provides bespoke advertising and sponsorship services for local authorities and transport providers. It has offices in Halifax and Harrogate.
Adverta is one of the UK’s largest bus and tram advertising specialists and represents around 30 bus companies.
The acquisition sees CP Media add 23 staff to its growing team, which now numbers 70 people, along with further offices in the East Midlands and Ripon.
Mike Brennan, chief executive of CP Media, said:
“The bus and tram advertising sector is one that we know well. I was heavily involved in transport advertising for many years alongside my business partner Andrew Walker. This means that Adverta is a perfect fit for our ambitious growth strategy.
“We are really looking forward to working with the Adverta team and growing the business in the same way that we have grown the main CP Media business and subsequently Eye Airports following our 2019 acquisition.”

In 2019, CP Media acquired Eye Airports, the leader in UK regional airport advertising with the rights for 19 regional airports, from its management and employees. Since the takeover Eye Airports has grown in both turnover and staff numbers despite the challenges of Covid and is now the fastest growing airport advertising company.
