Data analytics and advisory firm Escalent has acquired C Space and Hall & Partners from Omnicom. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.

The companies have worked together in the past and explained that Hall & Partners brings a research and brand management franchise coupled with proprietary technology including an award-winning brand knowledge management platform to the union.

C Space in turn brings a solution for building communities and customer relationships, and Escalent brings a global platform with deep industry knowledge, and advanced capabilities in secondary research and analytics.

The combined organization creates a global presence with nearly 2,000 consultants, researchers, data scientists, technologists and operational experts in 20 countries.

“This union is rooted in unparalleled expertise in what drives human beings, cultures and markets,” stated Escalent CEO Melissa Sauter. “Together, there is tremendous growth potential for our employees, clients and shareholders across the globe.”

The organizations serve numerous clients in categories such as automotive & mobility, consumer goods & retail, financial services, health, and technology as well as energy, telecom and travel & tourism.

Escalent indicated that C Space CEO Jessica DeVlieger and Hall & Partners CEO Tim Wragg will continue to lead their organizations as part of Sauter’s executive leadership team. The firm added that clients will continue to work with the same teams, and there are no near-term plans to change company locations or merge brand identities.

Escalant is a portfolio company of private equity firm STG.
