Hi. My name is Matthew Metlov and I work for GoDigital Media Group. The current page has a section called "Business Units" that has an out-dated list of businesses and is partially uncited/poorly-cited. Also, the businesses it's listing are subsidiaries, not divisions of the same company as inferred by the "Business Units" language. I'd like to propose replacing that section with the below draft, which is more complete, updated, cited, and adds a few sentences summarizing what the company does. Thank you in advance for taking a look!
