REVOLUTION: the Chicago-based integrated sports marketing and media services agency has acquired Birdsong 3, a digital and youth culture agency. The move expands Revolution’s expertise in digital content, social media, creative, brand strategy and event marketing.
RAZORFISH AMERICAS: the digital agency, which in April appointed Bob Lord CEO, has restructured and named Dave Friedman, formerly regional president for the Central region, as the head of operations in the Americas. Lord was president of the eastern region before assuming his new post; a third regional president, Colin Kinsella, is swapping charge of the Western region for a job as chief innovation officer at the agency. Last year the Microsoft-owned company appointed its first presidents for the European and Asia-Pacific regions. Razorfish recently acquired Spain-based agency Wysiwyg and under Friedman’s direction reportedly plans to expand into South America.
