"Day says that Keywords has no plans to slow down anytime soon.
“There is a very active pipeline of acquisitions. On the one hand we have strong organic growth, and then acquisitions to come on top,” he says."
"Now, Keywords and Day are in the thick of another shift as massive players such as Google, a Keywords client, and Apple are looking to get a share of the market."
“What has been validated over the years is that, as a trusted provider of services to the industry, we are taken with the industry. When the industry goes to streaming they take Keywords with it. We are working with Google and others in the space to help them get their services up off the ground,” Day says.
"While games remains the primary focus, Day also has designs on broadening Keywords’ reach."
“It is an area of the strategy that we articulated at the time of our IPO in 2013, when we said we will step out into neighbouring areas. You can’t help (but) see the similarities in what we do for video games in film and television, where they are using a lot of the same technology,” he says.
A decade since taking over, Day’s enthusiasm is as strong as ever.
“I hope we can carry on doing what we are doing. Our plan is to get to the point where these big clients of ours would feel comfortable in offloading big chunks of what they are currently doing internally to a company like us,” he says."
