McMurry and TMG Merge, Create Largest Independent Content Marketing Provider

Few staff reductions are expected as the companies integrate their operations, as both firms’ service lines are working at full capacity. The company headquarters will be in New York City, where, in mid-2013, the predecessor companies’ New York City offices will be combined in a new facility.

“This is a tremendous combination of talent and industry presence that we believe creates the largest and best positioned content marketing agency in the United States, if not the world,” said Dan Kortick, managing partner of The Wicks Group. “We are very proud to have brought these two visionary firms together with this transaction and are delighted to add them to our portfolio of sector leaders. Growth prospects for this corner of the marketing industry are very bright. We are confident that the management team in place at McMurry/TMG is well equipped to take advantage of the growing demand for content marketing.”

McMurry and TMG were represented by The Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc., a New York City-based investment bank that specializes in the media, information, marketing services and technology industries. AMR International acted as strategic advisors to The Wicks Group of Companies on the transaction.
