Michelle Boggs, CEO of McKinley Marketing Partners, above, said: “Now, by joining our compatible cultures and commitment to quality with 24 Seven, our reach and resources are magnified, allowing us to create even more impactful connections.”  Boggs will remain a strategic advisor with McKinley Marketing Partners following the transaction.

“We are thrilled to welcome McKinley Marketing Partners into 24 Seven’s family of brands,” 24 Seven CEO Anthony Donnarumma stated in a press release. “The team’s longstanding stellar reputation and depth of marketing resource knowledge is impressive. Our combined forces will elevate the talent solutions we provide and further expand our reach within key markets.”

The deal closed Dec. 5. Plans call for the McKinley brand to remain and operate as McKinley Marketing Partners, a 24 Seven company. Terms of the transaction were not announced.
