Combined with Affle?s other recent acquisitions, including Vizury Commerce, Affle has strengthened its position in the mobile marketing business globally. ?With this acquisition, we see significant synergies and are confident that when we layer the RevX platform with our DMP-based audience intelligence and mFaaS-based ad fraud filters, we will be able to boost the ROI of the platform significantly. Also, we are very excited by the self-serve features of the RevX platform and believe that this could help us drive the adoption of programmatic advertising amongst fast-growing industry segments,? said Anuj Khanna Sohum, Chairman, MD and CEO of Affle.
The RevX platform is designed to drive performance and brand engagement through programmatic, personalization and data science. The technology used on the RevX platform will further strengthen Affle?s consumer intelligence driven mobile marketing platform.
The M&A advisory team from Progress Partners, which acted as financial advisor to RevX in the U.S. transaction, was led by Senior Managing Director Christopher Legg and Managing Director Jeff Coon. Jeff Coon reflected on the growth potential for RevX from the transaction, ?As both a prior client and partner of RevX I?ve continued to be impressed by the company and their ability to deliver results to both small and very large marketers. Combining their retargeting with Affle?s strong data management and performance advertising tools yields a truly comprehensive mobile advertising platform.?
