Interactive Marketing, founded in 1992, represented Yahoo during its first two years of operation, and created Yahoo’s initial advertising and promotional strategies. Most recently, IMI created the blueprint for Lycos’s recently announced “Lycos Network” strategy.
IMI, through its subsidiary, Digitrends LLC, publishes Digitrends, a quarterly interactive marketing journal, Digitrends Daily, an electronic newsletter for interactive marketers and organizes industry conferences such as Camp Interactive, E-Biz Solutions and the upcoming Variety Interactive Marketing Summit.
