"ISM will continue to grow and expand to meet the needs of our clients. With increasing deal flow coming out of Asia, it is imperative that we maintain our leadership position in the east," said Clyde Grossman, the company's managing director.

ISM China will work to place projects for their clients in the world's fastest growing market, as well as seek investment from key partners in the territory. ISM will also offer distribution services in China for Mobile and Tablet companies that have existing, successful products in North America and want to expand their market.

Heading up ISM China is Monte Singman, whose experience and pedigree date back to the very beginnings of the interactive industry in China. In addition to leading the R&D team at Shanda, Singman was the founder of the active IGDA chapter in Shanghai. During his career he has facilitated countless online, mobile and tablet deals and brings a wealth of credibility and experience to the table.

"We are honored to have Monte on our team. His strong relationships in the publishing and development community, as well as with the local government, make him the absolute best choice to represent ISM's clients in this rapidly growing territory," said Sean Murch, a senior partner at the company.
