ITA Group Acquires Experiential Design and Production Leader Hartmann Studios
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ITA Group, a worldwide leader in corporate engagement solutions, has announced its acquisition of experiential design and production company Hartmann Studios.
With offices in San Francisco and Atlanta, Hartmann Studios is a full-service experiential design and production studio whose specialty lies in conceiving, creating and executing a vision to transform unique spaces into experiential environments for some of North America's most prominent brands.

We believe the combined resources and expertise of both companies will provide the industry with a unique engagement agency. Together, we'll provide clients with better ideas that produce better results."
