+ | ==Merge with Open Road== | ||
+ | In February 2014, Blue Rubicon bought and merged with consultancy [[Open Road]] in a part cash, part equity deal. The deal saw [[Open Road]]'s 21 team members merge into Blue Rubicon's. It is thought the two will remain separate first but will start to work together on projects.<ref name="Merge"/> | ||

+ | ==Bought by Teneo== | ||
+ | In July 2015 it emerged that Teneo had bought British lobbying firm Blue Rubicon. All members of the Blue Rubicon senior management team will continue as part of the Teneo leadership team. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the acquisition, Teneo CEO and chairman [[Declan Kelly]] said: | ||
+ | |||
+ | :'The acquisition of Blue Rubicon and StockWell is a transformational moment for Teneo as we continue to grow across the globe, building on our reputation as one of the world's leading advisory firms'. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blue Rubicon senior partner [[Fraser Hardie]] said: | ||
+ | |||
+ | :'We are incredibly excited about becoming part of Teneo. We're bringing together a compelling combination of skills to meet growing demand for reputation-related advice at a time when CEOs and boards look increasingly to manage reputation more strategically and across the whole enterprise. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :'Many now see the systematic growth of trust as providing the oxygen in which to do business - a vital element which maintains strategic freedom, accelerates transitions and cements competitive advantage'.<ref> David Singleton [https://www.publicaffairsnews.com/articles/news/blue-rubicon-sells-teneo Blue Rubicon sells up to Teneo] ''Public Affairs News'', 9 July 2015, accessed 15 July 2015.</ref> | ||

Merge with Open Road
In February 2014, Blue Rubicon bought and merged with consultancy Open Road in a part cash, part equity deal. The deal saw Open Road's 21 team members merge into Blue Rubicon's. It is thought the two will remain separate first but will start to work together on projects.[1]
Bought by Teneo
In July 2015 it emerged that Teneo had bought British lobbying firm Blue Rubicon. All members of the Blue Rubicon senior management team will continue as part of the Teneo leadership team.
On the acquisition, Teneo CEO and chairman Declan Kelly said:
- 'The acquisition of Blue Rubicon and StockWell is a transformational moment for Teneo as we continue to grow across the globe, building on our reputation as one of the world's leading advisory firms'.
Blue Rubicon senior partner Fraser Hardie said:
- 'We are incredibly excited about becoming part of Teneo. We're bringing together a compelling combination of skills to meet growing demand for reputation-related advice at a time when CEOs and boards look increasingly to manage reputation more strategically and across the whole enterprise.
- 'Many now see the systematic growth of trust as providing the oxygen in which to do business - a vital element which maintains strategic freedom, accelerates transitions and cements competitive advantage'.[2]
Lobbying for the corporate education industry
Blue Rubicon has a number of lobbying clients that are pushing for reform of education systems that benefit corporate interests. These include, or have recently included:
Safina Mirza, who was an Associate Director at Blue Rubicon until June 2015, says she ‘worked closely with Pearson Education to raise awareness of their global brand by developing and rolling out a common narrative throughout their territories. Safina was also responsible for updating Pearson’s newsroom functions, enabling press teams to react to breaking news and to plan ahead for proactive press announcements’. She was previously head of marketing and communications at the Learning and Skills Council[3]

Former Staff
- Spencer Livermore, Gordon Brown's former director of political strategy, joined Blue Rubicon as head of strategy and planning in January 2009. Livermore was one of the first senior figures to leave Brown’s inner circle, departing in early 2008 after Brown attracted heavy criticism for pulling the plug on an early election. Livermore had previously helped the Prime Minister to plan the strategy for the first 100 days of his premiership. He also worked closely with Brown throughout his time as chancellor after being appointed a special adviser in 1998.[28]
Livermore announced he would be leaving his role as director of strategy in 2013 to rejoin the Labour Party as campaign director for Douglas Alexander and Michael Dugher in the build up to the 2015 general election. [29]
