The digital firm grew its overall client numbers by 29 per cent over corresponding prior year period with its largest client now representing 47 per cent of all invoices.

Stuart Green, chief executive of ZOO Digital, said: “The board is pleased with the progress achieved in the period under review, and in particular with the addition of significant new clients and diversification of revenue sources.

“Our cloud technology enables content providers worldwide to meet increasing regulatory requirements for the delivery of online entertainment.

“We believe that ZOO has the opportunity to grow consistently and win significant market share in digital distribution and localisation - a large and expanding segment of the Media and Entertainment industry.”
