Kering praised iProspect for its “digital and data-driven strategic vision and capabilities, its drive for innovation and creativity, along with its constant agile mindset”.

“The Group looks forward to working with iProspect within the fully integrated Dentsu network as its unique partner, empowering the combination of a global vision and strong local expertise,” the company said.
