We're delighted to share the news that, as of January 7, 2008, Clarke Advertising and Public Relations is combining operations with Eric Mower and Associates, a leading independent regional marketing communications agency with offices in Atlanta, Ga.; Charlotte, N.C.; and Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, N.Y.

There will be significant, immediate benefits from this merger for both our clients and our staff. Our clients will have access to enhanced agency capabilities, including interactive services, expanded market research and direct marketing. And, our staff will join a larger, integrated team of professionals across EMA's network of offices.

As part of this move, our name will change immediately to Clarke/Eric Mower and Associates. Your Clarke team continues as you know it, but will be enhanced by our new colleagues from EMA. To get to know the new organization better, we've included a link below to the EMA website and the press release that was issued announcing our merger.

We're very excited about our future and the opportunity it holds for all of us. We hope you are, too.
