In December 2017 DWA were acquired by Merkle, part of the Dentsu Aegis Network. The move expands the B2B offering at marketing agency Merkle, adding scale and breadth to existing capabilities, and offering brands in the technology and B2B sectors greater sophistication, integrated technology, data, creativity, and outstanding performance marketing.  Our approach has delivered success for a diverse group of clients, including Cisco, Citrix, Box, NetApp, Salesforce and Intel.

The acquisition allows us to have the best of both worlds; locally retaining our independent agency feel, with the backing of a global network - meaning the opportunity for learning and career growth are big. We foster a culture of ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’, and actively encourage our team members to have, and share opinions.
