SapientNitro has acquired Campfire, a digital creative boutique and its second agency purchase of the year.
Campfire joins a handful of SapientNitro acquisitions over the past few years. In 2011, SapientNitro bought Clanmo, a mobile shop based in Cologne, Germany. Later that year, it acquired D&D Holdings, a London-based ad agency. In 2012, it set its sights on the U.S., acquiring Portland, Ore.-based digital agency Second Story and mPhasize, a marketing analytics company in Westport, Conn. And in January it bought Hispanic marketing shop La Comunidad.
"A lot has been around elevating the creative product and creative reputation," said Gaston Legorburu, executive director and worldwide chief creative officer at Sapient. Mr. Legorburu spearheaded the latest acquisition. "What's interesting is the combination of technology and brand. Second Story was at the forefront of that."
