“The name USWeb/CKS is incredibly powerful and carries tremendous brand loyalty and equity. This cannot be ignored,” said Tom Suiter, chief creative officer of the company.

“Over the past couple of months we’ve received considerable input from industry and market analysts, clients, shareholders and employees that our name, USWeb/CKS, is very recognizable as a market leader and any change might confuse the marketplace,” said Robert Shaw, CEO. “We are focused on execution and growing our business, and changing our name at this juncture would introduce unnecessary risk and distraction.”
