Omedia provides marketing research surveys, audience measurement, advertising, editorial and digital monitoring across West Africa and was previously owned by French media audience measurement company Mediametrie.
“The acquisition of Omedia is a great opportunity to offer more services to our clients in countries where we had limited capacities so far. We are happy to welcome more great professionals which will help our development in Africa,” says Ben Page, Ipsos CEO.
Omedia will continue to be Mediametrie’s partner of choice
Adds Yannick Carriou, Chairman and CEO of Médiamétrie: “I am delighted that Omedia is joining the Ipsos Group. The team will discover how dynamic and innovative Ipsos is. As Omedia will continue to be Mediametrie’s partner of choice in the region, all our clients will benefit from even stronger capabilities.”
