TORONTO, July 12, 2022 /CNW/ - AIIM Holdings Inc. ("AIIM" or the "Company"), a leading provider of omni-channel marketing communications solutions, today announced the acquisition of Prime Data, a leading provider of sustainable marketing communication solutions.

Following the growth investment AIIM received in May 2022 from Vegvisir Capital, the Company continues its expansion by extending its service offering to included carbon-neutral solutions with data enhanced personalization capabilities for direct mail. Prime Data shares AIIM's outstanding "client first" reputation by offering its clients high performing end-to-end marketing communications solutions including strategy, tactics, design, workflow automation, and production.

Its reach spans customers across various industries including non-profits, financial services, ecommerce, real estate, and marketing agencies both domestically and internationally.

"This acquisition will enable AIIM to accelerate its omni-channel customer communication management platform vision and further fuel the growth and success of our clients to attract new clients, grow, retain, and re-engage with existing ones," said Patrick Masset, CEO of AIIM. "Prime Data instantaneously adds data and workflow management experts to our team, increases production capacity for our respective customers, and enables us to leapfrog our efforts to provide our valued customers with sustainable carbon neutral direct mail solutions."

Together the companies will merge their efforts under one roof and continue to provide clients with exceptional service out of Aurora, ON.
