They "shopped" the company and failed to find a buyer. Few companies recover from such a set-back. WPP won't buy Spot Runner because they are "all-hype, no substance".

Which they could probably get for around $300 million. It makes more sense than VideoEgg or SpotRunner. They should buy AdBrite. Which they could probably get for around $300 million.
