global network with common products, systems and practices and to support
Carat's and Vizeum's clients in the interactive space.


Doug Flynn, CEO of Aegis Group, said,  "Nigel's experience in servicing
international clients combined with his interactive expertise makes him ideal
for this role.  The interactive advertising and marketing industry has been
showing signs of returning vigour and I am confident that Nigel will act as the
catalyst that will drive interactive into becoming a significant part of Aegis'
media business.

brands with consumers and I am committed to achieving truly integrated
communication across all connection points.  With the strong interactive
capabilities in all our key markets and the powerful resources of Aegis Media
behind me I am confident that I can deliver success to our clients and to the
Group.
