In the Asia-Pacific region, the firm's strategic communications arm, FD, has made two acquisitions within its strategic communications segment, Sydney-based Third Person Communications Pty Limited (Third Person), one of Australia's leading financial communications firms, and the Occasions Corporate and Financial Communications Ltd and Occasions Marketing Communications Ltd (Occasions), a specialist financial, corporate and marketing communications consultancy in Hong Kong and China.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed.
"Having a global advisory capability is a core strategic focus for us as we seek to serve our clients across a broader range of issues irrespective of where they carry out their business," said Jack Dunn, FTI's president and chief executive officer. "Our acquisition of the Occasions communications business reflects the growing awareness among Chinese companies of the importance of communications and it greatly enhances our Asian platform by giving us critical mass in Shanghai and additional expertise in Hong Kong and Beijing to leverage our existing FD and International Risk businesses."
In addition, the firm has opened a new office in Mexico City. This FTI location will initially focus on business intelligence and investigations.
