The Canadian arm of Rouge Media, Rouge Media Group, has been acquired by Rogers Sports & Media.

Since it was launched in 2003, Rouge Media Group has grown into a leading place-based out-of-home (OOH) company within Canada and the U.S. The company operates static and digital-based signage within universities, college campuses, resto-bars, and salons.

“We are proud our Canadian OOH networks, partnerships, and Rouge Canada team are now part of Rogers Sports & Media,” said the company’s CEO, Martin Poitras. “Our assets and networks will be in good hands and a strong media complement within the Rogers omnichannel portfolio.”

Rouge Media Inc., will continue to operate its national campus and women networks in the U.S.

“The U.S. market has been an incredible growth opportunity for the company over the past eight years,” said Rouge Media’s chief revenue officer, Alison Jacobs. “We look forward to further investing in our premium, addressable, DOOH (digital out-of-home) networks that provide unparalleled scale to advertisers looking to reach targeted audiences in contextual, brand-safe environments.”
