The multi-language production unit has received over $14m in investment since being founded in 2011 including investors such as Smedvig Capital, Panoramic Growth Equity, Harbert European Growth Capital and a group of digital entrepreneurs.
Quill’s client base includes Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton, eBay, Google and Amazon and the company has said it was on track to generate £7m in content bookings, which would have been revenue growth of 40% year on year.
Webedia will now merge the two networks in a bid to create a network of 7,000 worldwide creatives in order to bolster is B2B content and enhance its global expansion plans.

"Our goal is to engage audiences with passion worldwide, and Quill has a significant part to play in advancing our entry into new markets. Their technology-driven approach to the challenges of high-quality content production at scale is a perfect match for us, and I look forward to working closely with Ed and the Quill team.”
