Explanation:
MHG could be "Medienhandelsgesellschaft" = "media trading company" (3 AV hits: one for excess juice sales, one for fashion and one real one for media trading) - or "media marketing company" (168 AV hits: most of them appeared to fit the bill. - Using the suffix .uk with "media marketing company", there were still 38 hits) - or another interesting alternative might be "media marketing agency" - This together with .uk got 11 hits. - As these terms are not so old, they would probably all be OK in either BE or AE. As far as I could see there is no widely used abbreviation. - Here are some appropriate sites: -
