INITIATIVE & FINANCE
Context
Initiative & Finance has invested €11M into Primelis to support its ambition of becoming the European leader in organic search (SEO). This investment follows a period of strong performance where the agency successfully met its previous three-year revenue target of €5M. The funding is specifically intended to support the agency's organic development and its initial external growth projects, which were already under review at the time of the transaction.
Target
Primelis is a high-growth digital marketing agency that has evolved into a "SaaS-enabled" platform, specializing in organic search (SEO), paid search (SEA), and social media advertising. Originally a pure consulting firm, the company shifted its strategy in 2017 to develop proprietary tracking and optimization software. These tools, which were initially for internal use by consultants, are now marketed directly to advertisers as a standalone or bundled SaaS offering. This hybrid model allows the firm to act as a "tech-tooled agency" or a "consultancy-backed SaaS platform," effectively using technology as a Trojan horse to enter major accounts.
