History

Reach Media Group was founded in 2006 as Danoo and got financial backing from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, DAG Ventures, National CineMedia and Tennenbaum Capital Partners. In July 2009, Danoo acquired IdeaCast.[2] In August 2009, the company renamed itself RMG Networks[3] and appointed Garry McGuire to take over as CEO from Aileen Lee.[4]

In May 2012, RMG sold its digital signage network targeting cafes, small restaurants and juice bars for an undisclosed sum to San Francisco-based Brite Media.

In April 2013, the company acquired Symon Communications, a digital signage company founded in 1980, for $45.5 million and moved its headquarters from San Francisco to the Dallas metropolitan area where Symon Communications was located.[5] The company went public via a reverse merger with SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. in April 2013.[6][7]
