'Revolution is the only title in the UK title dedicated to the digital marketing sector?' Blimey what happened to NMA then?

A much better publication as well. Surely you can't have a 'monthly' digital title?
Dan Williamson - 30/04/2008
Best of luck Gareth. Look forward to the new revamped Revolution and its website.

Of course you can have a digital monthly title pixie x. There are websites these days that facilitate breaking news. You're on one now.

Good work, Morgan - really please for you. It's a shame for Marketing, obviously, as you looked liked you'd pointed them in the right direction, but it will be great to see Rev become proper competition for us lot at NMA again. Btw, good work BR: "the only UK title dedicated to the digital marketing sector" - hilarious!

A loss for the readers of Marketing, but a gain for the digital marketing community. Congratulations to Gareth on a well-deserved promotion - he'll make a great editor.
