The BDO Birmingham transaction services team recently advised Nasdaq listed Velti Inc. the mobile marketing and advertising technology provider, on their acquisition of UK based mobile marketing company, Mobile Interactive Group, (MIG).
The acquisition of MIG expands Velti's position as the world's largest mobile marketing company based on revenue, customers, consumer reach and technology holdings. In 2011 MIG was named the fastest growing privately owned technology firm in Europe and with more than USD 100m in gross billings MIG has established itself as a leading mobile marketing player.
