  WPP Digital acquires stake in NuConomy, an innovative web analytics company


WPP Digital, the digital investment arm of WPP Group plc ("WPP") today announced
that it has acquired a stake in NuConomy, an innovative next-generation
web-analytics company.


Founded in 2006 in Israel, NuConomy enables businesses to go beyond the
information typically provided by web-analytics tools to provide unparalleled
visibility into online user behavior.


The NuConomy Studio is the world's first "performance insight platform," built
from the ground up to provide completely new ways to measure today's interactive
web, allowing publishers to go beyond the current page view model, to gain more
valuable insights into their business. Additionally, NuConomy's unique ranking
module allows web publishers to measure consumers' engagement and interaction
with content, while giving advertisers actionable insight into the audience they
engage with. NuConomy is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California with R&D
offices in Israel.


This investment continues WPP's strategy of developing its business in fast
growing markets and sectors and strengthening its capabilities in digital media
and research. It builds on recent investments in Invidi, IMMI, VideoEgg, Visible
Technologies and Spot Runner. NuConomy is expected to work closely with Kantar
Group companies.
