Deon Taylor Enterprises, Producers Roxanne Avent and Deon Taylor Acquire Venom Viral Marketing

Deon Taylor Enterprises of Sacramento, California has acquired Venom Viral Marketing also of Sacramento, California in an all equity swap deal.

Said Deon Taylor, "this alliance will help us to leverage our core business of feature film and television production into short-format webisodes and viral content for the web." "The combination of the two companies will help DTE grow and respond to changes in the marketplace as the entertainment and digital worlds increasingly collide - new business opportunities will emerge and we want to be able to capitalize on them, " said Roxanne Avent, producer and co-founder of DTE.

Jason Pryor, the director of Venom provided some of the background logic behind the merger, said Pryor, "with the core demographic of 18-24 year old consumers spending more time on the Internet than any other medium, content producers like Deon Taylor Enterprises must go where the consumers are and provide relevant content for the new consumption patterns. Venom will work with DTE creatives to generate webisode/short format content for brands, general advertising as well as for DTE studio projects. DTE can re-purpose existing content for the web, to extend their brands and they can also test new concepts digitally before investing in a full feature film or television production."
