I agree re: Grizzard and its fit with MSGI. Grizzard not only represents the Salvation Army but some of its other non-profit clients include the American Red Cross, state sheriffs' organizations and animal humane societies across the United States. Grizzard serves an impressive and varied roster of corporate clients: retail, consumer, business-to-business and individual companies. Many can be found in the Fortune 500. With $120+ million in annualized billings Grizzard is the 8th largest in the industry. grizzard.com The acquisition of Grizzard would be a significant move towards consolidation of this fragmented industry, which is clearly a part of MSGI's goal/vision.
