The company was acquired for an undisclosed sum.

"We are thrilled to have acquired Irokeesi, the leading experiential marketing company in Finland. Irokeesi will strengthen Aegis Media Finland product offer in the market and will enable us to offer even more integrated marketing services for our clients in Finland," said Aegis's Chief Executive Officer Juha Herranen.
