TigerSpike sells stake to Aegis Media
Mobile agency TigerSpike has sold an $11m minority share to Aegis Media as it gears up for global growth.
The Australian-founded company currently has offices in Sydney, London and New York.
According to today’s announcement: “The funding will accelerate TigerSpike’s growth plans, expand its product group and extend its reach into new markets, particularly Asia-Pacific. As part of the agreement, TigerSpike will leverage Aegis’ existing global network.”
Aegis has become an increasingly significant player in Australia since purchasing Mitchell Communication Group last year.
TigerSpike’s Asia-Pacific MD Alex Burke said: “The investment is a significant milestone in TigerSpike’s history.”
Launched in Australia in 2003, TigerSpike’s clients include Woolworths, Vodafone, Telstra, Diageo, SBS, The Economist, NewsCorp, ResMed and World Wildlife Fund.
