Our guiding values, sound strategy, great people and long-lasting relationships with our publishing partners have stood the test of time, enabling us to grow even through these uncertain times. We are extremely confident about the positive benefits that this acquisition can bring to new clients and the stakeholders in the Snack Media group. It marks a new and exciting phase for the business.”
