“I am writing you an email to share with you the great work Dean has done the last 3 days in Oslo. The value of him presenting the digital landscape and associate it to the Eyeblaster brand is so valuable. Believe me. I was very sceptical about this before I experienced the reaction from the crowd. The MSN team were so excited and positive. They literally told us that what we pulled in 3 days they never would achieve in such a short time period. Keep up the good work Dean”
Guy Makmel, Easy Concepts, Amsterdam.

“We have just returned today from a wonderful weekend which included the Digital Experience Day and Eyeblaster Spain company weekend in Sitges (near Barcelona). The learning was very serious and thorough. I am sure we will see the results of having our entire team more aware of what is really happening behind the day to day campaign scene. We will certainly be able to be more proactive and consultative using this information and I believe our CS team could now start being more confident and assertive, when coming to adding real added value to our clients, way beyond the actual campaign execution.”
Oded Liva, Country Manager, Eyeblaster Spain.
