Paris-based digital marketing firm Valtech has aquired W.illi.am, a digital agency based in Montreal, for an undisclosed sum. The firm and its staff of 60 will become the Canadian branch of Valtech. Co-presidents Annie Levesque and Damien Lefebvre will continue to head the office. W.illi.am's clients include Bombardier, Hydro Quebec, Mary Kay, Cogeco and Thermador-Bosch.
