Juliet said:  “I was delighted to be approached by Twofour – an exciting and dynamic international media group which has aspirations to triple in turnover over the next 5 years. Twofour is at such an exciting position in terms of its own growth but also in terms of the markets within which they operate. There has never been so much potential to deliver ever more added value services to clients using digital media.”
