Telus International, a digital customer experience company and a subsidiary of Telus Corp., has acquired WillowTree, a digital product provider.
WillowTree is headquartered in Charlottesville, Va. with 13 global studios across the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Poland and Romania. The company’s clients include Fox, CBC, PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch InBev and Marriott, among others.
