Lark’s thoughts on C&W merger

Posted July 11, 2008

In this week’s issue, we report on Cohn & Wolfe’s plans to expand its global footprint following its merger with sister agency GCI.  I corresponded with Andy Lark, VP of global marketing and communications at Dell, about the merger and whether the newly formed entity can become a top 10 global player.  Dell has been a longtime  client of GCI.

“PR spend is only going to accelerate over the next decade and they’ve already got many of the next generation skills needed to win - and proven them working with us at Dell,” Lark said via e-mail.  “The two agencies make  for a winning combination.  They’ll now be able to achieve scale and momentum they couldn’t get as as independent firms.”
