"DKC understands that our unique and eclectic client roster requires special attention and expertise," said Miramontez in a statement. "This opportunity will allow us to provide our clients with all the resources of a leading, beautifully-run national agency, while still allowing us to maintain the quirky, boutique spirit we’ve built our reputation on."
