It's been a fast and furious 12 months, with the acquisition and integration of key technologies such as ClickEquations and AdMetrica, our first User Summit held in Montreal, plus the development and launch of a range of new features and services, as well as continued strong growth in both client numbers and throughput. We want to thank our clients, investors and employees that contributed to our goal, which is to deliver digital marketers the best platform for all their online marketing initiatives."
