ACNE is pleased to announce its new partnership with sales agency Aarra for Digital work. Founded by James O’Brien in 2004, Aarra is the first interactive management firm of its kind, overseeing business development for a roster of digital production houses while serving to connect them with agencies and brands across the globe. ACNE will retain its relationships for Live Action and Branded Content with Reprizent on the East Coast, David Wagner in the Midwest, and Salon on the West Coast.
“We are thrilled to have Aarra on board,” states ACNE CEO of US Operations Jesper Palsson. “I’ve known James for a long time, and now is the perfect time for us to join forces. We have spent the last six months producing great work and trying to get the word out on our Interactive Directors. Right now we are in the process of revamping our Digital arm and signing new Broadcast Directors, and James will be a great help to us with our repositioning on that side.”
ACNE has produced several dynamic interactive projects in recent years, including a high-end installation for IBM, native apps for Tostitos, and the recent Evian Spider-Man commercial, to mention a few. This new partnership with Aarra further solidifies ACNE as one of the industry’s leading production collectives, and will enable ACNE to extend their reach to new heights as they continue to produce top quality work for clients such as Chase, Blackberry, and GE.
