THE ALLIED GROUP ACQUIRES
INSIGHT MARKETING GROUP OF PAWTUCKET
CRANSTON, R.I. (May 2, 2006): The Allied Group, the region’s leading provider of print, mail and
fulfillment management services headquartered in Cranston, R.I., announces that it has acquired the
assets of Insight Marketing Group of Pawtucket, R.I.
Established in 1997, Insight Marketing Group is a full-service marketing and graphic design studio serving
high-end clientele throughout the region, including Bank Newport and Imperial-Deltah.
The clients and resources of Insight Marketing Group have now become part of The Allied Group’s newly
formed Marketing Communications division, and will operate out of Allied’s Amflex Street location in
Cranston, R.I. David Speakman, president of Insight Marketing Group, has been named director of the
Marketing Communications division.
This acquisition enables Allied to grow and diversify its product and service offerings -- a strategy that dates
back several years to Allied’s acquisition of Keyprint, a commercial printing facility in Cranston, as well as
the recent acquisition of Newsletter Press of East Providence. “We are continuing to hand-pick right-sized
organizations that share our business focus and vision while adding value for our customers,” states Bob
Clement, president and CEO of The Allied Group. “David Speakman has spent many years building a
high-quality creative design services company, and his background is quite solid in marketing. The more
we can grow and diversify strategically through acquisitions such as this, the better we stand to be an asset
to our customers and their needs.”
“Bringing Insight Marketing Group under the umbrella of The Allied Group makes perfect sense for my
existing customers as well as the many customers of Allied who can now take advantage of value-added
services,” states Mr. Speakman. “We are excited to be able to create an in-house marketing and design
division at The Allied Group because it enables us fully integrate the concept of the one-stop shop. Now,
all of the resources of The Allied Group such as printing, mailing and Internet technologies can be available
for the ultimate benefit of the customers.”
