Acquisition of Award-winning Marketing Firm to Bring New Capabilities and Resources

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, December 8, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arco + Associates, LLC (Arco), an award-winning full-service marketing firm specializing in content creation, marketing strategy and public relations, has been acquired by 1905 New Media as a member agency. The move allows Arco to leverage the infrastructure of a larger agency, while adding public relations capabilities and experienced team members to the 1905 New Media team. The company will continue to operate under the Arco + Associates brand until March 31, 2022. The affiliation benefits clients through additional service offerings for both Arco and 1905 New Media.

In addition to Arco, 1905 New Media has strategically grown its capabilities through multiple acquisitions, including the website development company Giant Hat in 2015, branding agency SandBox Creative in 2019, and search marketing firm tSunela in early 2021. The recent acquisition of Arco’s 11 employees brings the total count to 38.

John Meilink founded 1905 New Media as a next generation of St. Charles, Mo. based Thomson Printing, Creative & Graphics (TPC & G), a fourth generation, family-owned business started in 1905. The company’s corporate headquarters and print functions continue to operate in St. Charles; the creative divisions are located in Olivette, Mo.

“We have grown rapidly and are excited to join this team of creative professionals and leverage the infrastructure they have spent decades building,” said Andrea Arco-Mastromichalis, founder of Arco + Associates. “1905 New Media shares Arco’s people-first culture, driven by a commitment to employees and clients. Consolidation of all marketing related services under one entity is smart, forward-thinking, and cost-effective for clients. This acquisition represents the next, best path forward for the Arco team.”

Arco-Mastromichalis will remain affiliated as a 1905 New Media consultant and is excited about the future. Since its founding in 2005, Arco has developed a reputation for tying marketing strategies to business goals and producing real results for clients.

According to Meilink, the chemistry between the two teams and companies was instantaneous. “Andrea has built a wonderful agency—one that we are proud to have under the 1905 New Media umbrella. Our two companies have similar views on client service, project standards, and strategic thinking. It’s incredibly rewarding to be able to offer both Arco and 1905 New Media clients a wider array of service offerings and expanded talent.”
