Bisnode acquires leading edge competence in digital marketing
Bisnode, the European leading provider of decision support solutions, has acquired the remaining shares in Vendemore Nordic AB. Vendemore offers world leading and unique solutions for online marketing, that aim to maximize sales for B2B companies. The acquisition is strategically important for Bisnode since digital marketing plays a central part in the future tools for decision making.
In September 2011 Bisnode acquired 51 per cent of the shares in Vendemore. Vendemore is a leading supplier of solutions for lead generation and targeted online advertising and has since the acquisition shown strong growth and innovative ability. The co-ownership quickly proved successful and Bisnode is now acquiring the remaining 49 per cent of the shares.

Today Vendemore serves more than 450 customers in 14 countries, where of 100 customers are the largest companies in the world.

When we fully integrate Vendemore’s services with our own offering concerning marketing and business information we create services that we know ads long term value for our customers”, says Björn-Erik Karlsson, Regional Director Bisnode Nordic.
