Cybereps, an interactive marketing and media sales firm funded by Interep (Nasdaq:IREP), announced today it has acquired Perfect Circle Media from Freerealtime, Inc.

Perfect Circle Media (PCM) is a new-media advertising sales firm providing media solutions to the financial category.

Under terms of the acquisition agreement, PCM will operate as a stand alone, independent rep firm under the Cybereps/Interep umbrella.

Adam Guild, President of Business and Corporate Development at Cybereps, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Perfect Circle Media into the Cybereps/Interep family. We admire the fact that they have created and built a strong company in such a short period of time. The PCM acquisition makes us the largest independent financial rep firm and fits nicely with our strategy for profitability."
