Joshua Novick, Antevenio's Chairamn and CEO, concludes: « 2015 marks a milestone in the development of Antevenio. Having invested heavily in our technology and especially in our software suite, our strategic repositioning and our innovations are paying off and are reflected in our turnover. Throughout the year, we won new accounts and developed our digital publishing specialist image. With the development of our vertical portals, particularly in France and Mexico, and the success of MDirector, we now have two strong drivers of growth on which we will leverage in order to keep our growth momentum in 2016. »
