LONDON - Burson-Marsteller, the WPP Group-owned PR firm, has bought Manchester-based PR consultancy Communique for an undisclosed amount.
Communique is an independent agency employing 35 people, with clients including Beefeater, Boddingtons, Whitbread Pub Partnerships, Thorntons and Pilkington. The firm had revenues of £2.8m for the year to September 30 2000.
This is the second time in two weeks that WPP has bought a PR firm -- last week it announced that it had bought financial PR company Finsbury.
