KNB Communications, a Stamford, CT-based medical marketing and PR firm, acquires Roketto, a Canada-based digital agency specializing in generative engine optimization, web design and development, digital advertising, and inbound marketing strategy. Following the acquisition, KNB will rebrand as Sōvyn, which it says reflects its evolution into a more integrated communications and digital strategy firm with a deep focus in healthcare, life sciences, and technology. Existing clients of both organizations will continue working with their current teams throughout the transition. “Companies need integrated strategies that connect scientific storytelling, search visibility, AI discoverability, automation, and digital engagement,” said Chintan Shah, president and CEO of the newly rebranded agency. “This acquisition allows us to expand those capabilities."
