'In addition to our acquisition-led strategy we have always been committed to
creating new revenue streams organically through the integration of existing
skills and resources in our group. Noize is the perfect example of this - a new
division where the combination of the existing skills of Cheeze, Inbox Digital,
Dig for Fire and Hyperlanch will create a powerful force in online brand
reputation. This is a hugely exciting development and demonstrates the
possibilities that exist in a uniquely collaborative and integrated group such
as ours.'
