Philippe Monzein will continue as managing director of Pixagility and will report directly to William Linders, managing director of ODMedia.
Digital media services provider ODMedia has acquired Pixagility, a French content services company with operations in France and Africa (Ivory Coast). The strategic move aims to solidify ODMedia’s position as a major player in the European and African digital video entertainment landscape.
Speaking about the acquisition, Sjef Pijnenburg, CEO of ODMedia, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Pixagility into the ODMedia family. This acquisition strengthens our presence in France and Africa and accelerates our ability to deliver exceptional services to clients worldwide. It’s a synergy of strengths that will drive innovation and elevate our service standards.”
The acquisition is strategically designed to leverage the strengths of both ODMedia and Pixagility, offering customers a comprehensive, one-stop solution. This collaborative effort aims to provide a complete suite of services to content owners, OTT platforms, TV channels, telecom operators, and internet players.
Despite the acquisition, both ODMedia and Pixagility will continue to operate independently. Pixagility will maintain its headquarters in Boulogne, France. Philippe Monzein will remain the Managing Director of Pixagility and report directly to William Linders, Managing Director of ODMedia.
Philippe Monzein added: “Joining forces with ODMedia is a testament to the shared vision and values of both companies, and we look forward to delivering enhanced value to our clients through this exciting partnership.”
ODMedia, established in 2004, holds strategic partnerships with major global OTT platforms and has earned ‘preferred partner’ status with iTunes. As of February 2023, Dutch Capital A Investment Partners holds a minority stake in ODMedia, assisting in its M&A strategy to strengthen its position in Europe and Africa.
