The New TNS Media Intelligence/Cymfony Generates Media Buzz

It has been an exciting week here. We don’t normally use the blog to toot our own horn, so I hope you’ll indulge us this once as we share some of the coverage.

TNS Media Intelligence’s acquisition of us generated a generous amount of buzz in both traditional media as well as in the blogosphere.  In fact, showing the influence of the blogosphere, news of our acquisition broke on PaidContent.org and had multiple blogs (Micro Persuasion, KD Paine’s PR Measuring Blog, and Customer Listening Blog to name a few) link to the post before we even announced.  And, that didn’t stop other media from writing about it following our announcement – here is a taste of the coverage:
