Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- Cooperative advertising boutique, Lakonic, is among other smaller Chicago agencies finding success in the rough Chicago climate. In response to their accelerated growth, Lakonic seeks talent and larger facilities as the calendar quarter comes to the end.

The expansion is fueled by multiple project wins and, most recently, global news that their client, Urchin Software Corp. — for whom Lakonic (alongside Urchins in-house marketing team) developed the Deep Analytics. Dive In." identity and campaign — is being acquired by Google.

said Merrick, president and founder of Lakonic. Due to the confidential conditions of the acquisition, the continuation of our relationship remains uncertain; however we are truly pleased to have been a part of Urchins history, growth and wish them the best, no matter the outcome. I will continue to watch the headlines and, likely, bribe them for a tour of the Googleplex.

We are very much excited for the Urchin team," said Merrick, president and founder of Lakonic.
