Hamburg, March 02, 2017 - gamigo AG ("gamigo", bond ISIN: DE000A1TNJY0) continues to drive its growth and acquires the successful international gaming portal MMO Games (www.mmogames.com) from iQU Online B.V. as part of its capital-friendly, platform-driven M&A strategy. This English website perfectly complements the group's existing portfolio of gaming portals with its editorial content and a strong social media segment. MMO Games was formed in 2007 as MMO Hub and has more than 280,000 registered users and 800,000 page impressions per month. This acquisition significantly increases adspree's attractiveness for advertising customers and further internationalizes its offering especially for the US market.

The main focus for the near future will be on optimizing the portal for partners and improving monetarisation. The highly experienced international editorial team will continue to create the content consisting of numerous reviews, news and background articles. The integration of MMO Games into gamigo group's portal portfolio creates a wide range of synergy effects with regard to editorial content, platform and marketing. iQU will continue to sell the brand inventory on MMO Games as an agency on an exclusive basis.

By further developing its influencer marketing segment, gamigo's subsidiary adspree is also establishing a ground-breaking, effective and state-of-the-art element in its marketing mix. By setting up a dedicated team, the gamigo subsidiary has already been able to achieve major successes and a high level of efficiency in performance-oriented influencer marketing. Focusing on the promising segment of influencer marketing opens up additional potential in terms of topicality and user approach - with target-oriented campaigns geared towards optimizing the efficiency of user acquisition. Further investments in this segment are already being planned.
