Marcoms group Dentsu Aegis Network has acquired full service B2B marketing agency gyro, which offers creative services combined with media planning and buying expertise, data and analytics, content, and search. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The firm's 600 employees are based in fourteen offices across the US, Europe, Dubai and Singapore.
