We look forward to unlocking new opportunities for retailer partners, brand partners, associates, and shoppers. We are excited to welcome Premium's leadership and associates to the Acosta team."
Despite the fact that Acosta and Premium will provide a unified portfolio of services to clients, each brand will maintain its own identity in the marketplace.
