For the Munich-based company, the collaboration with Verve is a strategic move: The goal of startup founders Felix Heberle and Jaron Sch\u00e4chter was to expand into Europe and North America. The merger with the US company Verve is a good fit. Jaron Sch\u00e4chter<\/strong>, COO of matchinguu<\/a>, explained:<\/p>\n

"Our core objectives and those of Verve fit together very well. Matchinguu's goal has always been to develop high-quality, mobile-first campaigns and technical products for our clients. Both companies also benefit from synergies, for example, in terms of their customer base."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ian James<\/strong>, General Manager International at Verve adds:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition was a natural fit because our technologies complement each other and we share the same goal: outstanding storytelling using location-based data.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
