Michael Caccavano, CEO and founder of Treehouse Agency, writes about the merger in a blog post. "In recent years we have found ourselves working in friendly competition with each other, developing parallel reputations and complementary skillsets," he says.

He says that over the coming weeks, the companies will be integrating their operations. The combined company will be called Phase2 Technology.
