PR agencies Avviso and Pinque – which already operate from the same office – are to officially merge under the single name of Avviso.
The announcement:
PR agencies Avviso and Pinque today announced that they have merged their operations, and will now trade as Avviso Public Relations from their current premises in Paddington, NSW.
Agency principals, Carolyn Grant and Sarah Hawthorn, will be joint managing directors of the new entity.
The two agencies have enjoyed a close working relationship for the past three years, operating out of the same location and sharing resources, staff and jointly managing key projects. This merger consolidates the relationship and will enable the agency to even more effectively service its clients.
“We want to offer our clients a mix of consulting skills and the ability to generate successful PR campaigns that are implemented across a variety of traditional and new media channels,” said Carolyn Grant.
Avviso and Pinque are renowned as specialists in major event PR strategy and implementation, with a broad portfolio of clients across public, community and business events. This focus of operation will continue, as well as other key sectors including arts, not for profit, property, human resources and industry awards programs.
“The complementary skills and experience of our two agencies, developed over many years through our work with government and in the private sector, will benefit our clients and give us a larger pool of skills and resources to draw from,” said Sarah Hawthorn.
