I'm sure I can't post the entire thing, as that would violate the magzine's copyright. Here are the important things: These grpahs are about the overall trend: "Considering the past few months' flurry of interactive agency moves and buys on the West Coast, it looks like an Internet gold rush has hit the industry. Benefits ranging from the talent pool to the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley and even the weather are drawing East Coasters and others westward." This is how Rare Medium fits in: "Earlier this year, Magnet Interactive, Washington, D.C., and Rare Medium, New York, both said they would open Los Angeles offices. Last year, iXL, Atlanta, bought BoxTop Interactive, Los Angeles, and SIG, Boston, opened a San Francisco office." Why look West? "The West Coast, once seen as too technology and entertainment heavy, seems to have captured the fancy of growing agencies. ''The West Coast makes sense to people, especially for those on the East Coast,'' said Dana Tower, analyst with Forrester Research. ''They need technical talent and technical clients and that is a natural for the West Coast.'' He also said technical clients can make a difference in showing a strong balance sheet. ''Silicon Valley is where the technology credibility is for this country. So it's a credibility builder too.'' Glenn Meyers, president-CEO of the growing Rare Medium, said clients, talent and opportunity are the reasons his company is expanding to the West. The company was recently bought by ICC Technologies, Hatboro, Pa., in a deal that lets Rare Medium retain its name and staff. ''It seems like there's a window of opportunity to get out there and land some clients,'' he said. ''Silicon Valley has got a huge advantage on technology, but everyone there is looking for the killer application on the Web. Front end creative is just not as important.''(end qoute) Some stuff on U.S. Web, Rare Medium's major competition: "Toby Corey, president and chief operating officer of US Web, which has acquired nearly 40 companies in the last year, said the West Coast is better positioned to serve corporate America with the Internet savvy agencies and prominent Web companies located there. 'The West Coast clearly has an advantage as being the geographic region with an early lead,' Mr. Corey said." Get Advertising Age to read the entire article. -------------------------------- Musya
