Virtual reality: the British agency CSM Sport & Entertainment acquires Visualise

CSM Sport & Entertainment has acquired Visualise, a British agency specialising in virtual reality, said the former group on 19/01/2017.

"The investment is a further indication of CSM’s focus on developing in-house capabilities in technology and innovation. Through this investment, CSM has direct access to one of the fastest growing, rapidly changing and innovative sectors in the industry. Equally, at CSM’s global portfolio of live events, Visualise will be a significant value -add to its clients and their audiences," stated CSM.

"Our partnership with Visualise is a natural fit: they have produced 360-degree and VR content across the world’s largest sporting events meaning that we have crossed paths many times over the last five years. This investment will ensure that we remain at the forefront of this increasingly important technology," said Alastair Bewick, CEO of ICON, a subsidiary of CSM, on 19/01/2017.
