Search engine marketing pioneer iProspect, based in Watertown, Mass., today announced that it will open an office in San Francisco, in July, alongside iProspect's Isobar U.S. sister agencies Freestyle Interactive, Carat Fusion, and Ammo Marketing. iProspect veteran Brian Kaminski has been named managing director of the new office; he will be responsible for overseeing all West Coast operations.

"Our expanded geographical presence puts boots on the ground where our clients are, and allows us to continue to make our clients our number one priority," iProspect president Rob Murray said in a statement. "Our search engine marketing firm has continued to grow exponentially, and our current growth trajectory simply demands the expansion."

Acquired in late 2004 by Isobar, a division of UK-based Aegis Group, iProspect is part of a global network of digital marketing agencies.
