Internet's Verio Seeks Ad Partner

National Internet service provider Verio is looking for its first advertising partner via a nationwide search, according to Steve Silvers, a client representative. Billings for the account were undisclosed.
Silvers could not reveal a marketing budget because the company is in the midst of a mandatory 30-day quiet period following its initial public offering last month. Its filing with Securities and Exchange Commission contained no spending figures.
Verio hopes to “evolve into a major presence through advertising,” Silvers said, and is “looking for an agency that can be a partner in the long run.”
