Commenting on the agreement, Damien Pigasse, international vice-president of media sales for Dailymotion said, "It is critical for Dailymotion to capture a significant advertising share in fast-growing markets. In that respect, Asia is a key territory to address for us. We are extremely pleased to be partnering with one of the best positioned advertising firms in Asia to help us in our development there.”
