MagiClick, a provider of digital technology and design capabilities, has acquired Dock9. The acquisition is part of MagiClick’s strategy to become the leading financial services technology and digital experience agency within Europe, it detailed.
MagiClick’s client roster includes more than 30 financial institutions such as HSBC, BNP Paribas and Metlife.
The acquisition grows the MagiClick headcount to over 160 employees working across three offices in London, Istanbul, and Dubai.
Murat Kalaora and Renée Tiyano, founding partners at MagiClick, said: As one of the few digital agencies in the world with deep expertise in the banking & finance industry, we recognised that Dock9 would be a great fit with us – they are the right size to benefit from being part of a larger group, they share our focus on financial services and have a solid client base.
Their expertise in Umbraco, Sitefinity, and Kentico will also be complementary to our existing offerings, they said. We were really impressed by the quality of their work and the talent of the team led by the company’s incredibly passionate founder Mark Lusted. We are looking forward to growing the company together.
Mark Lusted, founder of Dock9, added: Over the past 13 years, we have organically grown Dock9 into one of the most respected digital agencies within the financial services space, helping incumbent players innovate and hit back at the startups along the way. From the first meeting with MagiClick, we saw huge similarities in their approach, culture, and vision for the future of financial services technology.
He said, there are not many digital agencies in the world with more than a couple of banking clients, and MagiClick is unique in supporting the digital transformation of over 30 financial institutions in seven countries.
