The District Communications Group, which is backed by Granite Creek Capital, has merged with Urban Emu, a New Jersey-based digital and technical solutions agency. No financial terms were disclosed.
Based in Washington, DC, DCG is a strategy, technology, and engagement firm.
DCG supports federal agencies and mission-driven organizations, including the Departments of Veterans Affairs, War, State, Labor, Treasury, Transportation, and Homeland Security.
“When Granite Creek invested in DCG, we were drawn to a team doing work that genuinely matters — from combating human trafficking to advancing veteran mental health. Adding Urban Emu’s technical depth gives DCG the tools to scale that impact further and serve clients with even greater precision,” said Peter Lehman, co-founder and partner at Granite Creek.
As part of the merger, Urban Emu CEO Patrick Kesler will join DCG’s executive leadership team as chief technology officer.
