Alisa Bowen, head of Reuters.co.uk, said: "Reuters.co.uk goes from strength to strength. Last year we doubled our audience and we are consistently seeing strong growth in demand from advertisers to appear on the site. This campaign is just the start of an exciting and innovative marketing programme planned to help grow our audience even further this year."

Last week, Reuters named Astrid Zweynert as its new UK online editor with immediate effect. In this role, she will lead news coverage and manage the news service Reuters provides to online customers in the UK. Zweynert has been with Reuters since 1994.
