McMurry adds a Spark
McMurry announced this week that it acquired Spark, a New York City-based firm specializing in video creation for environments, corporate communications and broadcast. The arrangement marks McMurry’s 12th acquisition since 1998, and its second acquisition during 2009.
“Spark is one of the few truly full-service video production companies with a track record of growth, a who’s who client list and world-class portfolio,” said Chris McMurry, CEO of McMurry. “Spark fits nicely with everything we do at McMurry, and most are well aware that the demand for video is growing exponentially.”
Spark opened in 1996 and has created content for RadioShack, Foot Locker, Deloitte, World Trade Center, Time Warner Center, Nissan, Infiniti, HP, Disney Epcot, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Vogue, Canon, Pfizer, Verizon, The Discovery Channel, Food Network and Ringling Brothers. With on-site editing suites and workstations, Spark also offers cost-efficient post-production options for broadcast clients, independent producers and production companies.
The addition of Spark to McMurry boosts McMurry’s staff to nearly 200 in four offices, including in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Ariz., and Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Perhaps this will clear the way for more of us freelancers to pitch to them! If McMurry is reading this, could you please share a “Pitch Me” with Valley PR Blog? We’re waiting to pitch you….

Hey Deb, are you interested in writing for one of our client’s websites or publications? You can e-mail me at katie.haney@mcmurry.com and I can pass along your qualifications to the appropriate project manager. It’s hard to do a “Pitch Me” with Valley PR Blog since we have more than 200 clients and each project we do is specific to each client.
