The integration of Blink Reaction into Intellecta and Propeople is a great opportunity for our companies to together be a part of something bigger, unlike anything that’s previously been seen in the world of Drupal agencies”.
Propeople’s Global CEO Michael Drejer explained that, “We are led by the vision of being a new kind of agency for the digital age, bringing technology into everything that we do. Today’s news is a major step forward in that direction, and we look forward to together building the leading Drupal agency in the world.
