Company Overview
In February 2007 the company experienced such rapid expansion that it was purchased by Vertrue Inc. an $800 million internet direct marketing service. Although purchased, Neverblue operates as a wholly-owned, Canadian subsidiary of Vertrue, with over 40% of employees native to Vancouver Island. The new ownership allowed the growing company to double annual revenue and increase staff by 40%. The company is based on a CPA (Cost per Action) model, a much lower risk way to advertise. In 2008 the company expanded into international markets, with a focus on the UK, France and Germany. After this solid movement into the internet marketing space, co-founder Todd Dunlop became a member of the newly formed board of advisors, and the Swedish-born Hakan Lindskog, former managing director of Time–Life's Music and Video Collections was named President. On March 31, 2011 Neverblue announced that it had acquired AKMG, a performance based online advertising agency based in El Segundo, California. Since then, Neverblue has expanded internationally to include offices in London, Hong-Kong as well as rebranding AKMG as Neverblue Email.
