Verizon, one of the largest telecom operator in the United States, acquired AOL in 2015, and most recently completed its acquisition of Yahoo for US$4.5 billion in early June. The integration of these two companies, which will operate under the Oath umbrella, should take several months to complete.

A global leader in digital and mobile, Oath is a house of more than 50 media and technology brands, including AOL.com, HuffPost, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, BrightRoll, Flurry, ONE by AOL, TechCrunch and Tumblr, to name a few. Today, the combined properties of Oath reach over 1 billion people worldwide, with a goal of reaching 2 billion people by 2020. Oath is shaping the future of media and building brands people love through scaled audiences, trusted content, premium distribution and differentiated data for thousands of the world’s leading advertisers.

Latin America remains a strong market for growth in digital advertising. According to eMarketer, digital ad spend in Latin America is forecasted to hit US$8bn in 2017, growing to US$11.6bn in 2020.
