Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security.

The Stable is a commerce agency focused on helping consumer brands build and operate their own digital commerce channels as well as manage their brand and sales performance across key North American retailers.

This marks the second acquisition in a row by Zehner and BVA, and they have been absorbed into one of the largest agencies Accenture.

Some of my network feels that the cost of talent could have something to do with the timing of this acquisition. The existing owners perhaps did not want to chase the talent rise upwards, and decided now was a good time to get off the ride.

It is not uncommon at all for agencies to keep getting acquired until they reach the largest agency size.
