The acquisition of Divisadero marks the US data marketing giant's firm commitment to the European continent and undisputed leadership in Spain in the growing digital consulting industry specialising in data. It also adds critical competencies and scale to Merkle's data and analytics offering in the market, as well as to that of Dentsu Aegis Network, bringing skills in data collection, analysis and activation. In addition, the two companies will benefit from synergies between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company will retain both the brand and the offices in Madrid, Barcelona and Gij\u00f3n, and will form part of Merkle's European operation, led by Tim Berry. After the purchase, which means the exit of its founding partner, Sergio Maldonado, the Divisadero management team will remain at the helm of the company, with Manuel Blanco as CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n
