WPP Group has acquired Blast Radius, an interactive agency based in Canada, for an undisclosed sum.
Blast Radius, which employs 400 staff with offices in San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Amsterdam and London, has experience in building ad campaigns for social networks. It will be aligned with WPP's Wunderman network.
A new report has looked into the performance of the top 28 UK retailers as measured by traffic, and has found much room for improvement.
The research, carried out by Marketing Assistance Ltd on behalf of Blast Radius, looked at the whole online shopping experience, from from first visit to returning unwanted items.
