Defiso Media AB has been acquired by Adelis Equity Partners
June 2018 — The private shareholders of Defiso Media AB have sold the company to Adelis Equity Partners. Financial details have not been disclosed.
Defiso Media, headquartered in Stockholm, is a Sweden-based digital media company with extensive expertise in search marketing. The company represents a new breed in the local SEO market space, which has enabled it to establish a leading position in Sweden within its niche. Defiso Media offers optimized landing pages to SMEs. The company owns the landing pages it creates for its customers and has a scalable technology-driven business model with a high proportion (>90%) of recurring revenues.
The combination of a technology-driven offering and a customer-centric delivery model gives Defiso Media a distinct position in the SEO market. The closest competitors in Sweden constitute traditional SEO/SEM consultancy agencies. However, US-based companies such as Leadpages, Insequent and Unbounce are, in terms of business model, more relevant subjects for comparison than traditional SEO agencies.
