K2 Design Inc. in New York said the sale of its CLIQNOW! ad network to 24/7 Media Inc. for gross proceeds of $4 million if part of its refocusing in the interactive advertising and media business.
K2 said the deal also calls for the cross-referral of business between the two
companies.
K2’s decision to sell the unit comes on the heels of the agency becoming
profitable.
“We can now better focus on the growth and management of our core business and
the expansion of our media buying and analysis group,” said Matthew de Ganon,
president of K2 Design.
Robert Burke, K2’s Chief Operating Officer, who
managed the sale of CLIQNOW! together with de Ganon, said, “This sale
successfully concludes the first phase of our restructuring plan. We will now
seek opportunities to participate in the ongoing consolidation of our
industry.”
