Lippe Taylor Group has acquired Cheer Partners, employee communications and diversity, equity and inclusion champion.
Cat Colella-Graham launched Cheer in 2017 after a 12-year stint at Ruder Finn, where she exited as executive VP-global head of people and acquisitions.
Cheer has worked with Pfizer, Tata Consulting, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CVS Health and Johnson & Johnson.
Paul Dyer, CEO of Lippe Taylor, noted the shift to remote work has made employment engagement a top concern of clients. The Cheer deal will “take our capabilities to the next level," he said.
