Emakina Group has 23 agencies in 12 countries, and its 1,000 technology and marketing experts deliver compelling and relevant user experiences.

Emakina and Akeneo are already launching their first joint projects in the Middle East. New initiatives include digital work for major players in the sports gear and beauty product sectors, with a focus on delivering rich and rewarding online consumer experiences.
