Deerfield Beach, Fla. – November 9, 2010 – Candystand.com, one of the longest-standing and most popular free gaming sites on the web, has signed an advertising agreement with Intergi Entertainment, the premier global gaming site representation company.  As a result, Candystand.com now has access to the highest-performing ad campaigns in the industry based on Intergi’s expertise in gaming and ability to deliver top advertisers.

Under the terms of the agreement, Intergi can now offer its advertising clients premier access to Candystand.com’s desirable, family-friendly audience.  In addition Intergi and Candystand.com, owned and operated by Funtank LLC, will work closely together to create and deliver unique advertising solutions including social games.
