“Incepta Group, the international communications and marketing Group, is consolidating its leading position across its public relations and marketing services disciplines through the acquisition of Broad Street Productions (“Broad Street”) based in New York.

Broad Street, founded in 1981, specializes in high-end corporate videos, major corporate conferences, interactive media and design & branding programmes for large corporate clients in the financial services, entertainment, technology, and pharmaceutical industries. Its ‘convergence communications’ services assist clients integrate video and other rich media into their internet and intranet sites, bringing corporate communications into the digital age. Broad Street’s clients include AOL Time Warner, Credit Suisse First Boston, Seagrams, and Verizon Wireless. Broad Street, which already works closely with Incepta’s public relations and advertising businesses in the US, will be renamed Citigate Broad Street as will Incepta’s London-based marketing services agency Yellow Line, providing the enlarged operation with an immediate presence in London.

David Wright, Chief Executive of Incepta said:

‘We have worked closely with Broad Street on a number of projects over recent months, which has only served to prove to each of us the complementary nature of our services and the opportunities we would create in working together. We believe Broad Street also offers Incepta best-in-class capabilities within their unique mix of services.

We believe that (Broad Street Productions) will flourish within the Incepta network.

Current trading for the year to February 2001 remains in line with market expectations, and the demand for the Group’s services in the final quarter of the financial year has remained strong.’

David H. Dreyfuss, President and CEO of Broad Street said:

“Joining Incepta Group gives us instant market advantages. Our clients demand a trans-Atlantic capability, our strategic communications services broaden in scope and the full resources of a global agency will accelerate our momentum” – From Incepta, February 20, 2001 press release
