Anthony Broadhurst, Managing Director of boxtonic explains, "Our focus is, as always, providing the best performing campaigns for our growing client base. Re-branding so soon after our initial launch wasn't a decision taken lightly, but one we felt necessary and with the launch of our first international office less than four months after opening, the time is right. boxtonic allows us to reinforce our global reach and will grow internationally as our client base does."
