BrainJuicer Revenues up 26% to £20m

International online specialist BrainJuicer has reported a 26% increase in full year revenue to £20m, for the 12 months ended 31 December 2011. In a trading update, the firm says this increase was primarily fuelled by continued growth in the US.

During 2011, the firm opened an office in Atlanta and added to its presence in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

BrainJuicer says that during the period, it also delivered 'strong growth' in Germany and Switzerland, while its operations in China and Brazil made 'encouraging progress'. In the UK, growth was 'steady', with revenue around 10% higher than in 2010. Operating profit for 2011 will be 'in line with expectations' when the firm releases its preliminary results on 22 March.

The firm's statement says: 'The company continues to build its reputation in the industry, winning six major awards over the last year, including Marketing Magazine's 'Agency of the Year' award for the second year running. We are also continuing to expand the availability of our innovative solutions, having recently opened in Italy and with plans to open more offices in the future.'
