Corporate engagement solutions company ITA Group has announced its acquisition of experiential design and production company Hartmann Studios.

ITA Group provides events, travel and other incentives to employees, as a means of improving their emotional connection with a brand.

Hartmann Studios is a full-service experiential design and production studio whose specialty lies in conceiving, creating and executing a vision to transform unique spaces into experiential environments.

The addition of creative capabilities such as content development, turnkey production, stages, sets audiovisuals and lighting will allow ITA Group to bring experiential design and production completely in-house.

Tom Mahoney, ITA Group CEO, said: “ITA Group is thrilled with the strategic acquisition of Hartmann Studios. As event management continues to rapidly evolve, major clients are demanding a partner who can deliver unique, full-service engagement solutions.

We believe the combined resources and expertise of both companies will provide the industry with a unique engagement agency. Together, we’ll provide clients with better ideas that produce better results.”

Mark Guelfi, Hartmann Studios CEO, added: “Together, ITA Group and Hartmann Studios are able to offer fully developed, holistic solutions for live events – experiential design, creative content and stunning production.

“What really sets us apart is the superior level of customer service and attention to detail that serves as the bedrock for both our organisations.”
