Pre-close trading update

International Marketing & Sales Group (AIM: IMSG), the emerging markets focused
sales & marketing company, is pleased to make the following trading update prior
to the Group entering the close period.

The Group will announce its financial results for the year ended 31 December
2007 on 24 April 2008. The Board of IMSG is pleased to announce that for the
year to 31 December 2007 the financial results of the company are in line with
current market forecasts.

Group Turnover and Reported Net Income for the year to 31 December 2007 are
expected to be in line with current market forecasts, at not less than US$150m
(2006: US$96.5m) and US$6.2m (2006: US$4.9m) respectively.

As stated in the interim results announcement for 2007, trading in the second
half was much stronger than in the first half.

During the year, IMSG has continued to invest in its infrastructure and
international expansion, completing eight acquisitions in 2007 and entering the
new emerging markets of Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Armenia, Tajikistan, as well
as adding complementary businesses in the UK.

The year has started in line with management expectations. The Group continues
to negotiate further acquisitions in the emerging markets, together with
exploring synergies across the existing and new businesses. Pursuant to this
strategy, the Group has recently made an offer to acquire the Swedish based One
Media Holding AB (publ) ("ONE Media") to strengthen its direct marketing service
offering while developing One Media's business in emerging markets. The Group's
offer to acquire the entire shareholding of ONE Media in exchange for the issue
of new IMSG shares has been unanimously recommended to ONE Media's shareholders
by its Board of Directors and is expected to be completed next month.

The Group has appointed Carnegie Investment Bank in Sweden to advise on a dual
listing on the OMX Nordic exchange in Stockholm.

Commenting, Greg Thain, Founder and Chairman of IMSG, said:

"Trading across the Group is currently strong and we are encouraged by the
progress made in the second half of the year. 2007 has been a challenging year
with the continued expansion and growth of the business and we are pleased to
report a satisfactory outcome at the full year. This reinforces our confidence
in the Group's long-term strategy to develop IMSG, through a combination of
acquisitive and organic growth, to be the leading marketing services group
focusing on Russia & CIS, India and other emerging markets."
