On July 30, 2013 Dentsu announced another European investment this year in its quest to strengthen its global footprint: the acquisition of a 70% majority share in the Italian
Simple Agency via Aegis Media Italia, a of subsidiary Dentsu Aegis Network Ltd.

Simple Agency srl – “Digital Marketing Empowerment”

Simple Agency srl was founded in April 2008 in Milan, Italy, by Marco Caradonna, and employs about 30 people.

Simple Agency has two parts:

Dentsu and Dentsu-Aegis

Dentsu dominates Japan’s advertising space, and is a very very strong force in Japan’s media industry sector, through control and management of major advertising channels with an overwhelming market share in Japan, and has been working hard to leverage its creative power and strength in Japan into a larger global footprint.

A big step forward towards a larger global footprint for Dentsu was the acquisition of the London based Aegis Group, announced on July 5, 2012.
