Digital Turbine Inc., announced today that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire AdColony Holding AS, a mobile advertising platform servicing advertisers and publishers from Otello Corporation ASA, a Norwergian company and sole shareholder.

“We are extremely excited to announce the acquisition of AdColony today,” said Bill Stone, CEO of Digital Turbine.  “We look forward to welcoming the AdColony team to the Digital Turbine family and believe that this strategic transaction will accelerate our growth and is a positive for our partners, advertisers, employees and shareholders. AdColony saw the secular tailwinds toward mobile, video and high-speed networks like 5G before most and has been able to capitalize on its vision.  The ability for Digital Turbine to utilize AdColony’s unique mobile advertising solutions across our vast device distribution footprint will unlock significant new monetization opportunities for the combined company’s platform offerings.  With the addition of AdColony, we will expand our collective experience, reach and suite of capabilities to benefit mobile advertisers and publishers around the globe.  Performance-based spending trends by large, established brand advertisers present material upside opportunities for platforms with unique technology deployable across exclusive access to inventory.”
