Merge Agency has moved from its Midtown location to the 550 Pharr Road office building in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. The move is the result of Merge's need for more physical space to accommodate a growing staff as well as Merge's strategic direction. In the last year, Merge has increased the size of its staff by 50 percent and is planning additional hires in the areas of account management and Web solution management in the first quarter of 2005.

"When we moved to Midtown five years ago our agency was a project-oriented creative firm," explained Michael Taylor, CEO and executive creative director of Merge Agency. "Since then we have grown into a full-service agency and Web firm helping our clients plan and execute broad-based integrated marketing communications. Our space not only had to be larger but designed around the way we work now: open and collaborative. The space is perfect for our high-service, fast-paced culture."
