- Buy and build strategy to create a leading integrated digital agency -

The shareholders of INTEGR8, a fully integrated digital agency providing its clients a unique 360 degrees approach covering all aspects of data driven marketing, creative design and technology, have sold a majority stake to Ufenau Capital Partners, a privately-owned Swiss Investor Group focused on buy and build investments in service companies in German-speaking countries.

ARTHOS acted as exclusive financial adviser to the shareholder of INTEGR8 media GmbH in this transaction. ARTHOS provided full M&A sell-side advisory services including analyzing and approaching national and international potential strategic partners together with AICA partner firms and driving the subsequent M&A process including co-ordination of the due diligence and leading negotiations of commercial terms of all agreements.

Together with Ufenau, it is planned to create a market leading group in the area of digital marketing within the next couple of years. "It is our goal to form a group of exceptional companies, complementing each other and setting new standards to create a pioneering agency model. With Ufenau, we found an experienced partner with strong financial resources allowing to realize this vision", explains David Rost, CEO and founder of INTEGR8.

"INTEGR8 is a fast-growing digital agency with strong technical know-how and an entrepreneurial management team. The rapidly growing and highly fragmented market is the ideal basis for the planned Buy-&-Build strategy", adds Ralf Flore, Managing Partner at Ufenau.
