Dentsu Aegis Network’s iProspect extends its performance marketing outreach in Poland with the acquisition of Marketing Wizards

Dentsu Aegis Network today announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire Marketing Wizards, the fast growing Polish performance marketing agency. Marketing Wizards will be integrated with iProspect, Dentsu Aegis Network’s global digital performance agency, and further expands the scale and digital capabilities of the network in Poland and the Central and Eastern European region. 

Founded in 2010, Marketing Wizards has grown significantly to become one of the leading performance and search agencies in Poland. Located in Warsaw, the agency provides a full suite of performance marketing services including search marketing, performance display, e-mail marketing & CRM, paid social, affiliate marketing, performance design, SEO, web analytics and usability services. Led by three friends from Warsaw School of Economics: Marcin Pogroszewski, Karol Milewski and Tomasz Nowiński, the 60+ consultants at Marketing Wizards provide full-service performance expertise to clients such as Virgin Mobile, Wonga, Travelist, Westwing Home and Living, BlaBlaCar, InPost, DaWanda and Johnson & Johnson.

Post acquisition, the Marketing Wizards team will be integrated with the existing iProspect team who provide search marketing, performance display, paid social, SEO and content marketing services to high-profile clients including Lego, MasterCard, adidas, Mattel and Reebok. The extended iProspect team will be led by a new Management Board consisting of iProspect’s Client Service Director Magdalena Mulenga, and Marketing Wizards joint Managing Directors Marcin Pogroszewski and Karol Milewski. Tomasz Nowiński, Marketing Wizard’s third Managing Director, will continue his close cooperation with the integrated agency as Advisor to the Management Board. 

“Bringing Marketing Wizards into iProspect enables us to scale our brand presence in the crucial e-commerce and technology driven Polish marketplace, adding another dimension to our global digital capabilities,” said Ben Wood, Global President, iProspect. “Marketing Wizards share the same philosophy and approach to online advertising as the iProspect network does. I’m happy to welcome them to Dentsu Aegis Network and have them represent iProspect in the region.”

“This acquisition further strengthens our capabilities in Poland, especially in areas of dynamic growth like digital performance, whilst continuing to provide an integrated approach to communications for our clients based on creation, media, innovation and data. Marketing Wizards is an energetic and highly enthusiastic agency driven by strong leadership; they will be a great fit in the local market,” said Sławomir Stępniewski, CEO, Dentsu Aegis Network, Poland & Eastern Europe.

“It took us a few crazy but wonderful years to grow from zero to one of the biggest online performance agencies in Poland. Joining Dentsu Aegis Network enables us to continue this momentum and take our business to the whole new level,” said Marcin Pogroszewski, Partner and Managing Director of Marketing Wizards. “I am truly excited and looking forward to combine our disruptive approach to performance marketing with an international expertise and enormous potential of Dentsu Aegis Network. Today, with strong and extended team, we have a clear goal ahead - to secure the market leader position for 2016 under the united iProspect brand.”

Dentsu Aegis Network Poland continues to strengthen its full-service approach with high quality performance capability in iProspect as well as powerful media, creative digital and out of home expertise in Carat, Vizeum, Posterscope, Isobar and Amnet.
