Porter Novelli has bolstered its West Coast public affairs presence
with the acquisition of pounds 4 million agency Nelson Communications
Group (NCG). According to Nelson CEO and president Donna Lucas her firm
will officially become NCG Porter Novelli, a separate unit operating in
tandem with Porter Novelli’s LA and San Francisco offices, as well as
Malibu-based Goddard Claussen Porter Novelli, the issues advocacy firm
acquired in July. No staff or management changes are planned for the
60-strong operation, and the firm will continue to operate its offices
in Sacramento, Irvine and San Diego.
