GibMedia has acquired a 66% stake in Eloquant
April 2013 — GibMedia, a Toulouse and Paris-based IT company, has acquired a 66% stake in Eloquant, a French software editor from Grenoble, for an undisclosed consideration.
With more than 70 employees, GibMedia is an IT company that offers three categories of solutions: tailor-made monetized services, AdWords optimization and website design.
