Locally massive names such as Aqua Online have been bought by Y&R, Trigger by international media house Isobar and now Gloo have become part of bigger media companies. In this week's Digital Edge we take a look into the buying process to see if it's about more than just money and whether these digital agencies can fit into the corporate mould of a large, traditional media house.
In this episode we speak to Brent Shahim from Aqua Online, Gavin Rooke from Trigger and finally Pete Case from Gloo to give us a scoop on the latest digital acquisition in South Africa and a look back at the story behind some past acqusitions. We also speak to market commentator Chris Moerdyk to see whether these acquisitions are merely a flash in the pan or a growing trend towards international interest in South African digital agencies.
