The Board believes that it can identify synergistic benefits between currently independent marketing services companies offering premium services such as market research, direct marketing, customer relationship marketing and other areas of marketing communications. The Board's objective is that each element of the Group will reflect the continued trend away from mass marketing towards one-to-one marketing between clients and customers. Following its repositioning in January 2001 as a marketing services group, Creston has made four significant acquisitions, which have each demonstrated growth despite difficult market conditions: • the acquisition in January 2001 of Marketing Sciences Limited, an international quantitative and qualitative market research company, based in Winchester; • the acquisition in November 2001 of The Real Adventure Marketing Communications Limited, a national marketing communications company, based in Bath; and • the acquisition in November 2002 of EMO Group Limited, a national channel marketing communications company, based in Swindon and Bristol. • the acquisition in October 2003 of Nelson Bostock Communications Limited, a London based public relations agency founded in 1987, which ranks as the 25th largest UK agency and 10th largest agency in the technology sector in recent industry league tables.
