"With Way To Blue, we can take a truly 360° approach to marketing for clients into global markets as well as add a number of specialist areas into our service offering," Boyan said.
"With 30 per cent growth from its integrated business last year alone, Way To Blue is clearly one to watch in shaping the future of marketing communications."
