Earlier this year, S4Capital expanded its digital content and programmatic capabilities with the acquisitions of Amsterdam and Miami-based film production studio Caramel Pictures and Sao Paulo-based programmatic consultancy ProgMedia.

Its latest buy, BizTech, was founded by Tim Goodman and Michael Patishman in 2008, and helps enterprises with their digital transformation journeys through the use of products including Adobe Experience Management, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Campaign.

Sorrell comments: 'We are delighted with the proposed deal which will bring Michael, Tim and the entire BizTech team to the S4Capital family. Their highly specialised Adobe expertise and close-knit client relationships make BizTech the perfect partner to accelerate our business in Australia and beyond'.
