Adding the extraordinarily talented Heavenspot team with its unique skillset and experience will ensure we continue to offer best-in-class social and digital. It is perfect timing.

The relationship between M&C Saatchi LA and Heavenspot provides a global reach via M&C Saatchi Worldwide, explains Hicks. It is an exciting next step for Heavenspot and our clients, many of which have an international presence.

According to Heavenspot SVP, Social Media Kathryn Schotthoefer, The collaboration between our teams amplifies the creative energy and innovation of both companies. We are similarly focused on ideas that offer best-in-class use of the creative, technical and strategic facets of social media to deliver both brand goals and outstanding user experience.

The Heavenspot team is comprised of 40 digital and social experts, now part of M&C Saatchi SHARE. SHARE was launched by M&C Saatchi LA two years ago to meet growing client demand. SHARE's clients include: UGG, Epson, Oakley, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Ohio State University and the LA Opera.

We've experienced great growth in SHARE during the last year, and were extremely excited to work with Heavenspot in continuing that trend into the next year and beyond, says M&C Saatchi SHARE VP, Director of Social Media Kyle Maurer.
