KJA Mind Finds

Sometimes when a family grows – it’s awkward. Take the holidays. Daughter comes home from college with a new boyfriend. You test to figure out his likes and dislikes, try to locate his sense of humor and, reluctantly, accommodate the vegetarian-only requests. But a few years down the road, when you’re sending “Happy Birthday to our favorite Son-In-Law” cards – the family’s settled and relaxed. Now he fits. Perfectly.

You could say KJA and Baton Rouge-based public relations and media strategist Bob Munson have been dating for years. Together we’ve worked side by side to provide solid solutions to a wide array of clients. And as with any solid relationship, the connection’s grown comfortable through time.

Now, we’re pleased to announce, Bob has taken KJA Communications Group to be his very own.

Well mostly. Bob, President of The Munson Group, along with his son Robert Munson, President of M3 Communications, formed Munson Acquisitions to acquire our Alexandria agency. This father-son team brings to the table more than 30 years of award winning-experience in the field of public PR, media and marketing strategy.

KJA’s new President and CEO says, “This is very exciting for us. We’ve been interested in KJA for some time now. The people who work here are highly skilled professionals, experienced, talented and they have a range of top-tier clients.”

“KJA is a natural fit for us,” said Robert. “Their work is incredible and we know we share a common vision for communications and public relations in the 21st century. Their team has a well-earned reputation as one of the best in the business and it’s an honor for us to join them.” Apart from a change in ownership, there are no plans for any personnel changes and KJA will remain in Alexandria. “You don’t mess with something that’s worked for that long and that well,” said Robert.

“KJA allows us to bring our design, PR and communications business in house,” said Bob. “Our clients will have access to more resources and talent. But, this is not as much an acquisition for us as it is our becoming part of a professional family with whom we’ve worked for decades and for whom we have much respect.”

So the family’s expanded… and lucky for us, we get to skip right past those stiff exchanges and forced smiles. So let’s get down to business. Pass the tofu meat loaf!
