Labelium’s eighth acquisition reinforces the French-headquartered Group’s global ambition and strengthens its position in the digital performance market
Labelium Group (“Labelium” or “the Group”), a leading global digital marketing performance consulting agency with 700 skilled experts, working in 20 offices across 14 countries worldwide, has completed its eighth acquisition, the second this year, through a combination with 1000heads, a leading provider of social media-led data & insights, strategic consultancy and creative services.
Founded in the UK, 1000heads provides a fully integrated, end-to-end Social Transformation™ proposition to blue-chip clients such as Alphabet, Snap Inc, Diageo, and Bimbo; this offering includes data and analytics, strategy, and social activation. 1000heads has a global footprint, employing over 170 people across seven offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Sydney, Melbourne, and Berlin.
This acquisition, the largest to date for Labelium, consolidates the Group’s geographical footprint, particularly in the United States, Europe and Asia, and complements the technological solutions that have been integrated through other recent acquisitions.

By combining their expertise and sharing their ambition, Labelium and 1000heads are now able to offer integrated and global solutions to clients in areas including social commerce, influencer marketing and the metaverse.
