Merger Creates a Stronger Global Agency to Drive Solutions in New Ways
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/12/11 -- Nurun today announced the closing of the acquisition of Odopod, a leading digital agency based in San Francisco. With a multi-disciplinary team of over 60 employees, Odopod has deep expertise combining brand marketing and interactive product development for a diverse client roster that includes Google, Electronic Arts, Tesla Motors and Sony Electronics, among others.
"We're thrilled to be joining Nurun. They bring us a global footprint, best-in-class technology capabilities and a wealth of experience with large global companies. These qualities are extremely appealing to us," said Tim Barber, Executive Creative Director and one of Odopod's three founders.
The acquisition adds a significant U.S. presence to Nurun's global network and access to Silicon Valley's culture of innovation. "Odopod is a unique company - one that thinks like a start-up, understands brands like an advertising agency, and creates products and software like an innovation shop. Some of the world's most innovative companies rely on Odopod to solve their most complex business problems," said Jacques-Herve Roubert, Nurun President and CEO.
Together, Odopod and Nurun will offer an unparalleled combination of expertise and scale that serves to further differentiate Nurun from the large communication holding groups. "As the world's largest independent digital agency, we believe we have an opportunity to be a new kind of digital company - one that's focused on helping brands create consumer value and improving everyday life," said Jacques-Herve Roubert.
