SimilarWeb’s Acquisition of Admetricks
Acquirer and Acquisition Object: Research and data company Similarweb announced the acquisition of Admetricks, a company founded in Santiago de Chile in 2012 and known for empowering brands to advertise more effectively in Latin America.
What’s behind it: “Similarweb has 40 times more people and 100 times more sales, but at the same time, it is a startup founded five years before us. We are very similar in our work culture, but they challenged themself more and managed to grow faster. Regarding strategy and finance, it made more sense for both companies to build things together rather than separately. Similarweb gains 11 years of experience in display advertising intelligence and a presence in Latin America,” says Adsmetrick’s CEO, Felipe del Sol. (Check out our interview with Felipe del Sol).
