Australia's MRA Snapped Up by Daemon

Sydney, Australia -based market research firm MRA (Marketing & Research Associates) has been acquired by communications agency Daemon Group.

Established in 1991, MRA offers in-house research consultancy and field services and its facilities include a 50-seat outbound call centre and a suite of interview, group meeting and training rooms.

facilities,' said Spencer.
