ARC is strengthening its communication offering with new acquisition
The group ARC Arise Consulting acquires the full-service agency BLCK Communication and thereby strengthens its offering in strategic and creative communication.
ARC continues to sharpen its offering with the client in focus and, with BLCK Communication, adds additional expertise in brand strategy, creative concept development and production.
“BLCK Communication is just like us, both ‘thinkers and doers’. They have the strategic height and at the same time the ability to implement the strategy in the client’s business. We continue our growth journey and complement the group with cutting-edge expertise where we see that it adds client value, and at the same time we prepare for the continued geographical expansion of ARC’s concept.
"BLCK has grown at a high and stable pace and to meet growing demand from our customers, we have for some time been considering expanding our business within a larger context. We have now found the partner we’ve been looking for. Together with the other ARC companies, we will now be able to present a stronger offer to our customers. And at the same time, we will be able to give our employees the possibility to grow and develop in a larger context. Together with our sister company SthlmFilm, we are now entering ARC with a lot of energy. We are really looking forward to building something fantastic together long term”, says Cecilia Falk, Managing Director of BLCK.
BLCK Communication joins ARC with all employees and will deliver client projects to both existing and new clients together with the other ARC companies. In the near future, BLCK Communication will relocate to ARC’s new office on Mäster Samuelsgatan in central Stockholm, which already houses most of the group’s 12 companies.
