History


In 1962, March Advertising & Direct Marketing was founded as an independent direct marketing agency.
In 1980, McCann Erickson acquired March Advertising and merged it with its Direct Response Division, an internal direct marketing operation formed in 1978, to form McCann-Erickson March. Shortly thereafter, the company changed its name to March Direct Marketing and then again in 1985 to McCann Direct.
In January 1997, under the leadership of Stan Rapp, who joined as head of the company in 1996, McCann Direct changed its name to McCann Relationship Marketing (MRM). This name change corresponded with the formation of McCann Worldgroup. In 2001, MRM merged with Zentropy Partners and became MRM Partners. In 2005, Reuben Hendell became CEO of MRM Partners and renamed it to MRM Worldwide.
In 2014, MRM Worldwide became MRM//McCann. The company acquired Optaros that same year.
