US Media Specialist Sold

US planning agency AdStaff Media has acquired Media Research Planning and Placement (MRPP), which offers media market research, planning and buying. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Raleigh, Durham-based MRPP was founded in 1987. As part of the deal, founder and CEO Sheila Ogle (pictured) will stay on as a consultant with AdStaff Media, while she pursues other business activities, including running her own event facility Matthews House and Matthews House Catering.

Ogle comments: 'While I have enjoyed starting and growing MRPP for a quarter century, I can now devote more of my time and resources to other local projects. I look forward to assisting AdStaff Media with a smooth transition of our clients, and I am confident they will do an excellent job in providing them with the quality service they have learned to expect.'
