Todd McCormack, IMG Media’s Senior Corporate Vice President, said, “I am delighted to announce the acquisition of Nunet, which represents an excellent strategic fit with IMG Media. Nunet’s capabilities perfectly complement those of IMG Media, leading to further synergies and the enhancement of the service we can offer our clients. Under the leadership of Ted Forstmann, Chairman and CEO, IMG is committed to investing in assets to help drive growth for our clients and we recognised that Nunet’s executive talent, tools and infrastructure will add significant resources to capture value in the mobile content value chain.”
