As of the end of April 2012 Amra will handle all National Display revenue sales for Northcliffe Newspapers

With a combined Amra and Northcliffe total weekly circulation of over 18 million copies, and hundreds of associated websites, the win means Amra will now represent nearly half of the regional press market.

Amra will offer advertisers unrivalled national coverage in the regional press as the portfolio will be made up of nine out of the top ten, and 14 of the top 20 regional paid for daily titles in England and Wales.

Gary McNish, Amra's managing director, said: "I am thrilled for all the executives who worked so hard pitching for the Northcliffe National account. This is a great day for all of us at Amra and we look forward to working closely with the Northcliffe team and our other publishers to drive more revenue through the enlarged portfolio we will represent. Our partnership is great news for both businesses and the regional press in general."
