Marketing for M&A post-acquisitions. Presented at "8th Strategic Marketing & Branding Forum", London, April 23-24th. In January 2014 the energy management giant Schneider Electric acquired Invensys thus expanding its product offering in the field of Controls, Software and Services. From a branding perspective Invensys brought several independent brands which had to be integrated within Schneider Electric’s portfolio. Comms plan included an integrated marketing campaign (“Better Together”) that was launched in Sept 2014 and which used Social Media channels to ramp up and reach the right audience.
