MADRID, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Adolfo Domínguez keeps moving forward in its commitment to bring fashion closer to society. The brand will showcase Ikigai, its autumn-winter 2024 collection, together with a selection of new perfumes in a global fashion show.

TORONTO, NECKARSULM, Germany and NORTHAMPTON, UK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Darwin CX and dsb deepen their alliance as Darwin CX becomes a shareholder of dsb. The Canadian company’s investment in dsb expands Darwin CX into the UK and European market and dsb becomes part of the pioneering Darwin CX family. The strategic partnership marks a significant milestone for Darwin CX and dsb, both leading providers of SaaS solutions and services for publishers.

The most remarkable aspect of this union is the parallel trajectories of these formidable companies prior to the partnership. Darwin CX and dsb’s fly ecosystem both launched in 2018 with the common goal of modernizing the publishing industry, which had become heavily reliant on outdated practices and legacy systems. Each company was on an independent mission to create an ecosystem of tools and solutions that would allow publishers to thrive in a fast-paced, data-driven, digital-first marketplace.
Best practices from North America meet European recipes for success

Next generation sales and marketing solutions
Publishers are battling dwindling attention spans and declining engagement. dsb and Darwin CX offer the publishing industry new, powerful tools for even more accurate content offers, prices and subscription conditions. All of this is based on data-driven, AI-supported personalization, which offers publishers new insights into their customers’ engagement and launches targeted measures to increase loyalty.
Prioritizing business continuity
“To meet the growing needs of our customers, dsb will expand their fly back-end infrastructure while integrating some of Darwin CX’s key marketing and data management tools. Of course, business continuity will be maintained for both our European and North American clients. We will offer our clients the best of both worlds without disrupting their day-to-day business,” emphasizes Alex Münch, COO at dsb Group.
Solutions for digital and printed content
Darwin CX and dsb are united by a focus on maximizing recurring revenue, seamless integration of online and offline solutions, and a fundamental belief in customer centricity. “The DNA of both companies is the publishing industry. That’s why, together with dsb, we are focusing on customized solutions for printed and digital Content”, stresses Michael Smith, Darwin CX Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer.
