Acquisition of MARMIND GmbH
Deloitte Legal advises UNITED Marketing Technologies by DuMont in third transaction this year
Düsseldorf, December 2022 - The Deloitte Legal team led by partner Michael von Rüden and senior associate Christoph Meves (both Corporate/M&A, Düsseldorf) has advised Cologne-based UNITED Marketing Technologies GmbH & Co KG, a subsidiary of German media and tech group DuMont Mediengruppe, on the acquisition of Austrian MARMIND GmbH from UPPER Network Holding GmbH.
This is the third time this year that the Deloitte Legal team has successfully supported its client UNITED in a transaction, following the sale of the majority stake in upljft gmbh and the acquisition of quintly GmbH. On the side of Deloitte Legal, a team from Deloitte Legal Austria and tax experts from Deloitte Austria were also involved in the transaction.
With the acquisition of MARMIND, the UNITED Group further expands its offering in the dynamically growing field of marketing resource management.
MARMIND specializes in the development and distribution of software solutions whose purpose is the planning, budgeting and evaluation of marketing activities. These solutions aim to increase the efficiency of marketing activities. MARMIND expands UNITED's existing marketing technology offering, which already includes companies such as censhare, facelift, quintly and, most recently, artegic. With its functions, MARMIND covers the initial and final phases of the marketing process and thus plays a key role in UNITED's offering, by linking the individual UNITED Point Solutions and thus strengthening their future viability.
Deloitte Legal regularly advises DuMont Mediengruppe on M&A transactions.
