MGID neemt het Italiaanse Metup Native S.r.l. over

Aankoop zorgt ervoor dat MGID het native advertentie-aanbod op de markt versterkt

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– MGID, het wereldwijde advertentieplatform, kondigt vandaag aan dat het een meerderheidsbelang heeft verworven in Metup Native S.r.l., een toonaangevend native advertentienetwerk in Italië dat voorheen eigendom was van MetUp. Deze deal markeert de laatste stap in de wereldwijde uitbreidingsplannen van MGID.

MGID betrad de Italiaanse markt door in 2019 samen te werken met Metup. Door gebruik te maken van de technologie, gegevens en expertise van Metup heeft MGID zijn oorspronkelijke aanbod voor adverteerders en uitgevers in Italië kunnen verbeteren. Tot dusver heeft de samenwerking MGID in staat gesteld het bereik in de regio uit te breiden tot meer dan de helft (55%) van het digitale publiek van Italië, door middel van partnerschappen met premium uitgevers zoals liberoquotidiano.it, ilfattoquotidiano.it, ilfoglio.it, iltempo.it en gds.it.
