Ed Eskandarian, chairman of Arnold Communications, is called the “Merger-meister” because of the many successful agency unions he has engineered.
However, there’s one pending Arnold-related agreement in which Eskandarian apparently did not play a role.
The deal was struck between one of the Boston agency’s staffers and an executive from a crosstown rival during a visit to New York.
Final negotiations took place during a lunch appointment at Zabar’s deli, a longtime favorite of the Madison Avenue crowd.
