From today, AMR Interactive and Hitwise’s Research Services Division will join forces to provide comprehensive research

respective client base.
By combining AMR Interactive’s expertise in customised research with Hitwise’s unique ability to monitor over 100,000
websites, spanning 150 niche industry categories, clients will now have the opportunity for the first time to purchase
customised reports that consist of Hitwise metrics and AMR’s interpretation of the data.
"We are delighted to be working with Hitwise to take online consumer behaviour research to this new level," said Brian
Fine, Chairman of AMR Interactive. “Hitwise’s Research Services Division produces a range of research reports based on
their unmatched coverage of the market which is complimentary to the advanced research analysis provided by AMR
Interactive,” said Fine.
"From Hitwise’s perspective, this is precisely the type of alliance that we have been working towards,” said Hitwise’s
CEO, Andrew Walsh. "Just as AMR Interactive will now be able to comment on trends in niche industry categories, we will
be able to provide our Hitwise Research Services clients with advanced interpretations of our data,” said Walsh.
