Congratulations are in order. A&R has been acquired by Edelman.

Edelman has been looking at a lot of Silicon Valley firms to strengthen its tech practice and A&R is definitely a firm that will return Edelman to the game in tech PR. Bob Angus — whom I do not know — has built an impressive organization with stand-out clients such as Adobe, Mozilla and Palm.

A&R stood as a strong independent in a market dominated by conglomerates. We have great respect for A&R and we wish the entire firm future success.

We hope to continue in the spirit of A&R and keep bringing new ideas, new communities and fresh perspective to help companies ranging from startups to world-class corporations build their brands and capture markets.
