The Shipyard Acquires Mering: A Combined Force of Four Offices
In a significant move, the small agency based in Columbus, Ohio, The Shipyard, has announced the acquisition of Mering, an independent advertising agency with a rich 35-year history. The combined agency will employ a total of 120 people and operate across four offices.
The current locations of The Shipyard's offices include Columbus, Ohio, and Newport Beach, California. Mering, originally based in Sacramento, California, has offices in Newport Beach and San Diego, both located in California. However, the current location of Mering's offices post the acquisition remains undisclosed.
Mering, previously known as MeringCarson, was founded by Dave Mering in 1986. The longtime partner and chief creative officer, Greg Carson, left the agency last year. The terms of the Office 365 acquisition between The Shipyard and Mering have not been disclosed.
It is unclear how the acquisition will impact Mering's operations and staff. The new leading personnel of the merged agency has not been specified in the provided information.
Interestingly, The Shipyard's establishment nearly 10 years ago was a result of Rick Milenthal's former shop, Engauge, being acquired by Publicis Groupe. The acquisition of Mering by The Shipyard is, however, unrelated to the previous acquisition of Engauge.
Mering is an independent advertising agency that has made a significant mark in the industry. The acquisition by The Shipyard marks an exciting new chapter for both entities. As the details unfold, we look forward to seeing the synergies and growth that this partnership will bring.
