OneTouchPoint, a leading managed marketing services company, has purchased Bluewater, a digital marketing services agency headquartered in Bloomington, Minn., accelerating its ability to offer seamless, online and offline brand and customer experience solutions.

“I’m thrilled to welcome the Bluewater team to the OneTouchPoint family,” said Dave Holland, CEO of OneTouchPoint. “The combination of our technology, commercial print production and managed services background in more traditional ‘offline’ marketing tactics with Bluewater’s online/digital capabilities and expertise in the franchise and multi-unit/multi-location market makes a compelling and differentiated end-to-end solution for the distributed marketing needs of the markets we serve.”
