This significant investment in A+V, the only local, pan Latin American delivery company, confirms IMD’s position as operating the most extensive video commercial delivery network across every continent.
The agreement between A+V and IMD brings substantial capital and technology contributions to A+V’s pan Latin American business. A+V and its customers will also benefit from IMD’s 17 years of experience in digital TV commercial delivery across Europe and Asia Pacific.
A+V is in the process of finalizing the establishment of its operations in nine Latin American countries, extending IMD’s direct interest in digital delivery operations to over 30 countries. Together with IMD’s Global Media Network Partners this creates by far the most extensive global delivery network available and the only one covering every continent.
Simon Cox, CEO of IMD, who joins A+V’s board, commented: “Latin America is embracing the digital delivery of TV commercials bringing efficiencies to local and global clients. We have tremendous respect for what A+V has done and share the same values of honesty and great customer service. This is a very natural commercial and cultural fit that will help build the best service for customers and media owners across Latin America. It makes IMD the provider of choice for global delivery solutions.”
Alejandro Albertini, CEO of A+V said: “IMD’s experience in the development of digital networks, knowledge of the industry and our common vision of how the distribution of advertising content is changing is vital to achieving our goals in the region.”
