“We felt compelled to do whatever we could to assist with the tragedy in South Asia. We realized that we could provide assistance by hosting a centralized point of information and to help co-ordinate efforts on behalf of many of our customers, suppliers and business partners. It is great to see many competing publishers and portals, as well as clients coming together and supporting a strong and united online approach.” says Martin Diessner, CEO, Flip Media, adding: “We would like to thank those companies who have already shown support for the campaign and to encourage everybody to download the banners from our site, post them and to create even more traffic to support the very necessary and worthwhile operations carried out by organizations, such as the Red Cross and others with donations.”
