Blue acquires 20|20 Marine Energy
Blue, a communications consultancy for the marine and energy markets, has acquired specialist maritime consultancy 20|20 Marine Energy (20|20). 20|20, which will be re-named Blue Insight, provides commercial advisory and research services for key transformative areas within the maritime industry.
The practice - which will be led by Adrian Tolson, 20|20’s senior partner - provides Blue with a physical presence in North America, as well as wider and deeper support for Blue’s current clients. Blue Insight will advise clients on creating commercial strategies for growth that increase competitive value and reduce risk, empowering them to seize the opportunities of markets in transition.
Blue’s acquisition of 20|20 Marine Energy follows the recent appointment of Mark Stokes as the new director of the company’s brand building practice “Inspire”. (mw)
