Anthony Broadhurst, Managing Director of boxtonic explains, "Our focus is, as always, providing the best performing campaigns for our growing client base. Re-branding so soon after our initial launch wasn't a decision taken lightly, but one we felt necessary and with the launch of our first international office less than four months after opening, the time is right. boxtonic allows us to reinforce our global reach and will grow internationally as our client base does."

Mia Scholtz, whose current responsibilities are commercial development and client management for the UK arm, will head up the South African office.

South Africa's Internet industry is still in its infancy, and a growing number of online brands are seeking global exposure in order to break into the European market; particularly those in the gaming industry.
