A competitor is quickly snapping up laid-off marketing reps who lost their jobs Friday when Raleigh-based Catevo Group shut down.

Media Two Interactive, also in Raleigh, has already hired two former Catevo employees and would like to hire as many as 15, said Media Two CEO Michael Hubbard. Media Two has job offers to several more ex-Catevo workers, he said.

Catevo laid off 25 people when it shut down as part of a reorganization by its parent company, the Laudes Corp. The company's portfolio included Blue Cross, Novozymes and BB&T, among other top drawer clients.
