Weber Shandwick Acquires Flipside

 

Adds Depth in Mobile Strategy, Experiences and Business Transformation

Acquisition Fuses Mobile Expertise with Firm’s Global Capabilities in Brand Publishing, Social and Integrated Media 

Weber Shandwick, one of the world’s leading global communications and engagement firms, has acquired Flipside, a specialised mobile and digital agency. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition combines Flipside’s mobile platform expertise, creative and technical services with Weber Shandwick’s global capabilities in social media, brand publishing and integrated media. Together with Flipside, Weber Shandwick will deliver a full-scale, modern digital offering that blends content, community and commerce for both B2C and B2B marketers.

“As our clients realign their marketing efforts around mobile environments, our focus is on bringing them the most creative and transformative solutions possible,” said Andy Polansky, chief executive officer, Weber Shandwick. “Flipside has particularly strong creative and technical expertise, and its team further bolsters Weber Shandwick’s leading position in content marketing and social media.”

Flipside has designed and developed mobile apps and digital experiences for some of the world’s largest global brands. Headquartered in London, with an additional office in Guildford, UK, Flipside’s capabilities also include strategic business and technology planning, social media management and mobile-centric marketing communications.

“To a large extent, marketers still view mobile as a medium to simply extend awareness-building, advertising-minded tactics onto a smaller screen,” said Chris Perry, chief digital officer, Weber Shandwick. “As we manage more of our lives on smart phones, we see the critical need to go far beyond these conventions – to deliver real value to users through new types of digital experiences and business services. Flipside recognised the potential from its start, and now gives Weber Shandwick added depth and dimension to bring new value-based, engagement-driven ideas to life.”

“Flipside’s success has been in helping our clients to capitalise on business and communications opportunities in an ever more mobile world, and I’m delighted that our deeply talented team of mobile and digital specialists has the opportunity to continue that pursuit on a global scale as part of Weber Shandwick,” said Marcus Dyer, managing director, Flipside.
