There's sources, but they're offline, so don't know what they say. A lot of the sources come from Audience Research & Development, an organisation in the same field. The article is borderline speedy as spam. The sources I saw online all gave the company passing mention rather than significant coverage. Christopher Connor (talk) 13:52, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Borrell research findings consistently predict where media and advertising are headed as industries.
 * ...regularly provides speakers to major media and advertising industry conferences, and their strategists are frequently honored for their work in various media and media-related industries.
 * The company's landmark project perhaps demonstrates most sharply the reason for its wide and growing influence – accurate and timely prediction of how the distruptive technologies of New Media will affect local online advertising....
 * At any rate, this is a publicity business, which can safely be presumed to know about "search engine optimization" and similar manipulations. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Pure weapons-grade vanispamcruftisement … article lacks sufficient attribution for verifiability of the WP:CORP notability criteria … most of the links provided are WP:SPS from the subject's own website. Happy Editing! &mdash;  16:28, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
