What: <\/strong>Insight, information and consultancy group Kantar has acquired the majority interest and control of Latin America\u2019s leading media measurement business, IBOPE Media for an undisclosed amount of money.\u00a0IBOPE Media\u2019s senior management and company structure will remain unchanged.
\nWhy it matters:<\/strong> The deal marks a new era for both companies and reflects Kantar\u2019s belief that the Latin American market presents major growth opportunities. Kantar and IBOPE have been competitors in the LatAm market research space, specially in media measurement, for many years. The deal combines the largest companies in the Latin American space. \u00a0The\u00a0deal cements Kantar Media\u2019s position as a market leader in Television Audience Measurement in 48 countries.<\/p>\n

The acquisition further strengthens Kantar Media\u2019s significant global footprint and expertise in all aspects of media measurement and evaluation and will enable Kantar to better link media and purchase data throughout the region.<\/p>\n

IBOPE Media\u2019s senior management and company structure will remain unchanged. CEO Orlando Lopes will continue to run the company, joining the Kantar Media board and reporting to Kantar Media Chairman and CEO Andy Brown.<\/p>\n

Given the opportunities we see in the region, the time was right to increase ownership and to accelerate the sharing of technologies and offers with the Kantar Media business. We\u2019re excited to welcome Orlando and the exceptional team at IBOPE Media to Kantar Media and look forward to driving continued innovation and growth as we develop our combined offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
