Cengage Learning, the $1.5B Boston-based educational services company that recently emerged from bankruptcy, has hired Ruder Finn for PR duties.
It offers content and digital solutions to colleges and grades from K-12.
Cengage, which is owned by private equity firms APAX Partners and OMERS Capital Partners, is the former Thomson Learning that emerged from the restructuring of International Thomson Publishing.
It filed for bankruptcy and emerged from Chapter XI this year.
Josef Blumenfeld, senior VP-corporate affairs at Cengage, said RF would communicate the "exciting new stage" in the company's transformation by amplifying the message of "student-centered learning and engagement."
RF's New York and San Francisco offices along with RFI Studios digital practice work the business.
