American List Counsel, Princeton, NJ, has sold a 33% stake in its interactive marketing services business, formerly known as ALC Interactive, now called Impower Inc., to Toronto-based Counsel Corp., for $15 million.
The sale was part of a strategic funding initiative to expand the marketing service including developing and licensing new technology, acquisitions and recruitment, ALC’s Chairman and CEO Donn Rappaport said.
