The move from incumbent Ignited, based in El Segundo, Calif., includes digital assignments for NBC broadcast and cable networks like USA, CNBC, Bravo, Syfy and E. While NBCU spent $92.3 million on digital marketing in 2013, according to Kantar Media, several sources peg future spending to grow to some $200 million.
