Cypress Interactive, a creative web development firm located at Synergy Park in Kilgore has recently acquired Tyler’s 3 Degree Media, Inc.  The two firms began discussions late last year in what both companies saw to be a mutually beneficial and exciting opportunity.

“We believe it’s time to become more aggressive in our own neck of woods. Cypress has so much to offer and too few in East Texas realize what we’ve got under the hood to help their business expand or become more efficient using the Internet.  The purchase of 3 Degree is a step towards becoming a more dominant technology figure in East Texas,”  - Founder, Bruce Crowe

In an effort to expand the reach of Cypress Interactive, and respond to a growing economy in Eastern Ontario, Cypress recently opened it's first sales office in Canada.  Bruce, a Canadian himself, was intrigued with the possibilities for expansion after a recent trip back to his home town.  "We've been looking and praying for ways to grow the company.  We have an amazing team in place, the time seemed right to push the envelope and bring our services to a place we have a lot of existing relationships already," says Crowe. 

CJ Thompson has been hired as the Project Manager and will be responsible for marketing and sales initially.  The goal for the Canadian office is to attract new business, new industry and look to expand and hire eventually in Canada as well. 

Cypress has already landed a new project, for a retail site, and interacting with the local government on some future projects.  We look forward to serving our Canadian customers with the latest in interactive web design and technology.

Our own Andrew Del Prete, web ninja and endurance runner, participated in and completed his first Half Ironman in Austin. That's 70.3 miles of hardcore physical exertion for those, like me, who do their heaviest workouts pushing their mouse around their desk.

We can't help but marvel at you Andrew. You rock.  No, seriously, your muscles are like rocks. Granite even. ;)
