Exterior Plus, a Portfolio Company of H.I.G. Capital, Acquires Impactmedia

Share

Exterior Plus, the out-of-home advertising platform of H.I.G. Capital, announces the acquisition of Impactmedia (the “Company”), a leading shopping mall advertising company, with over 630 million viewers in high-traffic premium locations throughout Spain. This is a major step forward in Exterior Plus’s consolidation strategy, as it aims to become the Spanish leader in out-of-home advertising with a unique, diversified and highly-competitive product portfolio, reaching very diverse audiences at a national level.

Impactmedia is an experienced leader in shopping mall advertising, offering digital advertising as well as special marketing actions. The Company operates in over 90 shopping centers where it has more than 1,200 digital displays. The acquisition allows Exterior Plus to gain a strong presence near points of sale, a key value driver for advertisers.

H.I.G. Capital acquired and established the Exterior Plus group in December 2015. The group currently markets more than 25,000 advertising panels and billboards across Spain. With the entry into shopping malls, Exterior Plus becomes the undisputable leader in out-of-home digital advertising, with over 1,600 digital displays. Furthermore, the acquisition represents an opportunity to continue expanding in the retail sector, improving the value proposition for advertisers – who are increasingly demanding real-time communication: enhanced content distribution, multi-channel strategies and interactivity.

Pablo González Ayala, CEO of Exterior Plus, said: “Impactmedia is a leading company in the shopping malls segment, and fits perfectly with the growth strategy of Exterior Plus, complementing our offer and providing significant incremental value to our clients”.

Jaime Bergel, Managing Director, H.I.G. Europe, Spain, said: “Impactmedia constitutes a value-enhancing add-on for Exterior Plus. Exterior Plus is acquiring a leading company in shopping mall advertising, strengthening the group’s position and enabling it to grow further in the digital indoor arena. We will continue to support the growth of the business through an increasingly relevant product portfolio”.
