MERGES KANTAR REPUTATION INTELLIGENCE, PRGLOO AND ONCLUSIVE TO CREATE A NEW GLOBAL PARTNER FOR PR & COMMUNICATIONS

Symphony Technology Group “STG” has completed its acquisition of Onclusive, Kantar’s Reputation Intelligence business, and PRgloo. Together the three businesses merge to create a new global media monitoring, measurement, and workflow management partner for PR and communications.

The new standalone company will operate under the name ‘Onclusive’ reflecting an inclusive orientation and comprehensive set of tech-powered and scalable capabilities.

What does this merger bring?

Our new company builds on the consultative strengths and scale of Europe’s largest media monitoring and analysis provider, Kantar Reputation Intelligence; UK-based PRgloo’s industry-leading media relations and workflow management platform; and Onclusive’s AI technology and data science. The merger brings us scale and ambition for global leadership.

“We’ve always admired each other’s strengths and we’ve increasingly teamed up on programmes to help solve clients’ needs. Today we accelerate our natural evolution to become one company, amplifying our strengths and supporting our clients with leading insights, technology and expertise together under one roof.” –Petra Masinova Chief Commercial Officer of the newly-formed Onclusive

“Building on PRgloo’s customer-centric design approach, we’re delighted to work with like-minded industry leaders to build a scalable and agile business; one which actively listens and responds to the needs of its clients as they navigate an increasingly complex communications environment.” –Samantha Deeks;  VP, Customer Experience at new Onclusive

How does this impact the market?

“Last year STG made clear its intention to create a market leading insights and software company through the proposed acquisition of Kantar Reputation Intelligence. Completing that acquisition is a major first step and the additional capabilities brought by Onclusive and PRgloo widen the scope of our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions for PR and Communications teams, both now and in the future.” –J.T. Treadwell, Managing Director at STG
