ALEXANDRIA, Va. and CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic communications consultancy Gladius Communications announced today that it has completed its acquisition of defense and aerospace technology communications firm Marcoux Strategies.

Gladius is a strategic and transformation communications agency dedicated to helping clients leverage communications as a catalyst to grow, transform, build, and protect their organizations. The firm, founded in 2019 by former in-house corporate communicators, provides unmatched experience leading change, transitions, and transactions that drive operational goals and business growth.

Marcoux's founder and chief executive officer, Sandra Pérez, will join Gladius as Vice President and lead the combined firm's defense and aerospace practice. Sandra founded Marcoux Strategies after two decades developing communications for Fortune 50 companies, federal agencies, and nonprofits leading media relations, community engagement, corporate citizenship, and inclusion initiatives.
