Conyak, which specialises in dynamic creative optimisation and has been developed over the past two years, was sold for somewhere between 186-335 million kroner.

“Over the past two years, our efforts to develop a disruptive, game-changing cross-device digital marketing platform have been rewarded by continuously increasing customer adoption,” said Christian Sundgaard, the CEO of Conyak.

“We are experiencing rapid growth in Northern Europe and we’re excited to amplify these gains as part of the Gravity4 family globally. Conyak’s goal has always been to ensure customer success by leveraging one-to-one marketing, and we are looking forward to taking our platform to the next level as part of the Gravity4 Marketing Cloud.”
