Completing that acquisition is a major first step, and the additional capabilities brought by Onclusive and PRgloo widen the scope of our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions for PR and communications teams, both now and in the future," said J.T. Treadwell, managing director of STG, in a statement.

"Onclusive is a technology and innovation pioneer in media monitoring and analytics, while Kantar Reputation Intelligence is a leader in customer service with top-tier European coverage and market-leading insights capabilities. It brings us scale and ambition for global leadership," added Dan Beltramo, chief innovation officer of the new Onclusive, in a statement.
