AYRES KAHLER MERGES WITH THE SACCO GROUP

The Sacco Group, an Omaha-based brand development and advertising firm has merged with Ayres Kahler Brand Navigation, a marketing communications firm.  The combined entity will provide marketing communications services with a total of 47 full- and part-time employees.

Since its inception in 1987, Sacco has become one of the Midwest’s leading brand development firms.  Their strategically creative focus helps clients sell, inform, entertain, and communicate with their clients, prospects, employees and investors.  Joe Sacco, president of The Sacco Group, stated, “Our long-term vision required us to leverage our experience in the financial, retail and entertainment segments through a base of greater resources.  Ayres Kahler’s strength and expertise allows us to pursue highly selective brands and clients locally and throughout the U.S.”

“By joining together we can create unique and successful programs using the combined experience of a variety of marketing disciplines,” added Mick Sibbel, president of Ayres Kahler.  “We have long recognized the talent of Joe Sacco and his team, and obviously feel this move will better serve our current and future client partners.  We are developing titles and structure for our combined team members and reviewing our own brand in the marketplace.  Those announcements will take place in a few weeks.”

Sacco offers brand development, advertising, design and online marketing services.  Ayres Kahler provides brand navigation, advertising, public relations, media planning/buying and experiential promotional services.

The history of Ayres Kahler dates back to 1946, when Warren Joyce Ayres opened Ayres Advertising in Lincoln.  In 2002, Ayres Advertising and Kahler and Company of Omaha merged to form Ayres Kahler.  In 2006 Artisan Creed joined the Lincoln office of Ayres Kahler to provide marketing, advertising and production through new media solutions and innovative communications.
