LONDON - Citrix Online, a division of IT company Citrix Systems, has appointed technology marketing agency Tidalwave to create its direct marketing campaigns across the continent.

Tidalwave, which won the account from incumbent Kingpin following a three-way pitch, will be tasked with creating direct marketing campaigns that target small to medium-sized businesses and professional consumers.

The campaigns will focus on highlighting the benefits of Citrix Online's services, which allow customers to access software on demand, over the internet.

"Working together, we will put in place a creative, high impact programme that will replicate this success throughout the European market."
