Acquisition of Lead Generation and Affiliate Marketing Company, Impulse Marketing Group
AdMedia Partners, financial advisor to Impulse in the acquisition, sees transaction as further evidence of booming demand for lead generation, performance marketing and affiliate marketing programs.
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 1, 2006 -- Impulse Marketing Group, an online lead generation and affiliate marketing company serving the financial services industry, has been acquired by an undisclosed private buyer.
AdMedia Partners (www.AdMediaPartners.com), the investment bank that initiated and managed the acquisition on behalf of Impulse, views this latest transaction as a direct reflection of the rapid growth and success of Internet lead generation campaigns, typically executed on a pay-for-performance basis and utilizing advertising- and email-based affiliate marketing programs. That rapid growth has led to a strong mergers and acquisitions market in the lead generation business.
"Demand for lead generation and performance marketing has been increasing dramatically because of its effectiveness, measurability and low risk profile for advertisers, a trend that has been reinforced by the overall migration of ad expenditures to the Internet," says Seth Alpert, Managing Director at AdMedia, who led the Impulse deal team. "The tools and techniques developed by Impulse are extraordinarily effective, and we expect continued strong interest in the mergers and acquisitions marketplace for companies that have figured this specialized field out and have taken a leadership position."
