Eniro acquires majority holding in blog network Bloggerfy


Eniro is acquiring one of the Nordic region’s largest blog networks, Bloggerfy.
As a result of the acquisition, Eniro establishes a strong position in the
social advertising market in Sweden and Norway. The acquisition will increase
traffic to Eniro’s local search services by approximately one million unique
visitors per week. The purchase consideration amounts to SEK 0.5 M.
Eniro has entered into an agreement concerning the acquisition of Bloggerfy AB
from FameAds Sweden AB. Bloggerfy develops and operates sales of sponsored links
and banners for bloggers that are linked to the network in Sweden and Norway.
The network currently comprises approximately 65,000 registered bloggers in
Sweden and 8,500 bloggers in Norway. In total, the network has approximately 2.5
million unique visitors per week, of whom about one million are expected to
increase traffic on Eniro’s search services. The company’s traffic trend is
favorable.

Bloggerfy supplies relevant advertisements to people who have discovered a
product or service they want to buy in a blog. By linking directly from the blog
to the advertiser, the user rapidly comes closer to making a purchase, thus
creating leads for Eniro’s customers.

“Today, blogger trends are rapidly reflected in corporate sales. With Bloggerfy
we can use the power of bloggers' influence on purchasing patterns to a direct
benefit for Eniro's customers,“ says Sara Kullgren, SVP Group Products and
Services at Eniro.

Following the transaction, Eniro will control 51% of Bloggerfy AB, while the
owners of FameAds Sweden AB will control the remaining 49%. Eniro is paying a
purchase consideration of SEK 0.5 M. The acquisition will have a positive impact
on Eniro’s operations and offering in Online/Mobile and Media Products. The
acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on revenues and
earnings during the current year.
