The last twelve months have been a whirlwind of pitch wins, new hires and expansion for Merkle in Europe; we have made several new acquisitions, secured new premises in London and have attracted renowned experts to diversify our offering. One such offering includes a rapidly expanding department dedicated to Data Management development, Big Data and engineering innovations, ensuring that Merkle provides its clients with a variety of services.
