Case Study
We are delighted to announce that RIAdvisory has advised Kingdom Digital, one of the top Digital Marketing agencies in Malaysia, on its acquisition by Hakuhodo Inc. This is Hakuhodo’s first acquisition in Malaysia.
Kingdom was established in 2007 as a digital creative production agency. With the growth of digital since then, Covid in recent years, and the development of their content scaling platform, DCA (Digital Creative Automation), Kingdom has grown to be a multi-award-winning agency counting over 150 experts. The Founders and senior management team have developed the largest independent digital agency in Malaysia.
The Founders decided that the timing was right to seek a strategic partner to accelerate growth beyond Malaysia and into South East Asia. RIAdvisory was appointed to review the company’s strategic options and leveraged its knowledge and network to ensure Kingdom Digital was engaging with the most relevant potential strategic partners. With RIA’s strong global access, the engagement with Hakuhodo came at just the right time, given its expanding interest in Malaysia and SEA, thus forming a perfect partnership for both businesses.
RIAdvisory worked tirelessly consulting with the Founders over a number of years preparing the business and subsequently guiding us through the transaction. They introduced us to relevant partners and most importantly, managed the process to ensure we achieved the result we wanted. We will recommend RIAdvisory to our peers in the industry, when they are ready for the M&A journey.
