Populis, which has been operating in Ireland since November
2006, delivers up to the minute 'content on demand' to web users. This

additional roles in Content Management, Search Engine Marketing and
Administration, in one of Europe's technology growth hot spots. The European
headquarters already counts over 8 nationalities and 10 languages across its
team of Search Engine Marketing and online content experts.
Commenting on the rebrand and expansion, John Slyne, Managing
Director Ireland and Group CFO, Populis said "We are delighted to celebrate
our rebrand to Populis with new offices in Dublin. Content on Demand has
experienced phenomenal growth and we needed a strategic base to help us
achieve our expansion goals. This further commitment to Ireland reflects the
country's growing leadership position in pan European digital
communications."
Welcoming the expansion and opening of the new headquarters
Barry O'Leary, CEO IDA (Industrial Development Agengy) Ireland said "As the
only major player in the sector to produce content in 8 languages, Populis is
a welcome addition to Ireland's vibrant digital media portfolio and its rapid
growth here is testament to the local management and highly skilled and
talented staff working in the Dublin HQ."
"Populis is an excellent example of the type of high growth
technology company which IDA targeted under its Horizon 2020 strategy. The
addition of Populis to our rapidly expanding digital media sector reinforces
Ireland's growing reputation as the internet Capital of Europe" he added.

content is then published across a network of wholly owned media brands and
optimized for search traffic via search marketing, social tools and community
engagement. This content is then monitised through partnerships with tier 1
search/contextual providers (e.g. Google, Yahoo) and direct deals (e.g.
Expedia, lastminute and eBay).
