Lansons Intermarket today rebranded as Lansons to reflect completion of the British firm’s 2019 acquisition of the New York-based Intermarket financial PR firm.
Lansons CEO Tony Langham said the revamp cements ties between staff on both sides of the Atlantic. “Today we go to market as one company, with a unified brand, culture and set of capabilities,” he said.
Martin Mosbacher and the late Matthew Zachowski launched Intermarket in 1986.
Josh Passman, a 12-year veteran of Prosek Partners, was recruited as CEO of Lansons Intermarket in April. He joined from PJ Solomon, boutique investment firm, where he was head of marketing & communications.
Gordon Tempest-Hay, who helmed both Teneo in the UK and Blue Rubicon, is succeeding Langham as CEO of Lansons on January 1.
Langham will become executive chairman, while fellow co-founder Clare Parsons will shift from non-executive chair to non-executive director.
