Max Bleyleben of Kennet Partners has a blog post on “Britain as the world’s hottest online advertising market”
“I believe the growth rates because we are seeing it clearly in online advertising related companies, including ones we’ve invested in, like Adviva. But an interesting result of this hypergrowth is that both traditional advertising agencies and Internet firms like Google are increasingly using the UK as a test-bed for new twists on the online advertising phenomenon.”
Nic Brisbourne also comments on the post
“The UK internet advertising scene is more advanced than anywhere else now which is good news for UK plc and should spell opportunity for you and me!”

It's MySpace for phones, yelled an audience member. You said that, I didn't, laughed O'Sullivan.”
