Major merger sets up new PR giant
Specialist technology PR companies Citigate and Hunt Thompson have merged.
The new company will operate under the Citigate Technology name. Its clients include Computer Management Group, Silicon Graphics, JBA and EMC.
Gareth Thompson, founder of Hunt Thompson, said: "Successful PR companies must offer a more strategic, intellectual service, focusing on the business benefits of applied technology and its implications for particular industries. They must also offer a broader geographical coverage."
Most of Citigate's clients are UK or European-based; most of Hunt Thompson's are from the US. Citigate is part of a group with interests in New York, Hong Kong and South Africa.
