Further Positions Fast-Growing PR Agency as a Top Video Provider in U.S.
(Newburyport, MA) – April 5, 2016 – Matter Communications, an award-winning PR and social media firm with in-house creative services and search marketing groups, has acquired Skyscope, a state-of-the-art B2B video production agency with offices in Worcester and Cambridge, Mass.
Though terms of the deal were not disclosed, the acquisition effectively doubles the video capabilities of Matter’s own award-winning video/creative services group, Studio-C, which serves an array of both consumer and B2B brands nationwide. The demand for video is only increasing, as 74 percent of B2C marketers and 92 percent of B2B marketers use video as a key component of their marketing efforts.
“The Skyscope team joins Matter at an exciting time in our history, as we have a rich pipeline of client demand for all things video,” said Matter Founder and CEO Scott Signore. “We’ve long been impressed with the elegance and authenticity of Skyscope’s work, as well as their team, customers and unique production processes. We look forward to innovating together to offer clients the best video technology and expertise available anywhere, anytime, at any price.”
“We’re excited to join an agency that has such a strong entrepreneurial slant and a willingness to invest in products and services that drive client success,” said Alex Dunn, COO, Skyscope. “We know first-hand how the prevalence of visual story-telling will only increase in PR and social campaigns, and we look forward to contributing to the success of Matter’s clients and the agency overall.”
Added Skyscope CEO Sam Shepler: “We’re thrilled for this opportunity and what it will mean for the clients of both Skyscope and Matter. Ultimately, this partnership is a force multiplier that will let us both deliver on our brand promise in an even bolder and more exciting way.”
