NEW YORK — Saatchi & Saatchi has selected Bcom3?s i-shop, Novo/Giant Step, as an interactive marketing resource, the agency network said Wednesday. The strategic alliance comes as Saatchi parent, Publicis Groupe, prepares to acquire Bcom3 in a $3 billion deal later this year.

The partnership will bolster Saatchi’s interactive capabilities, which have been scaled back since its four-year-old interactive operation, Darwin Digital, shut down in 2000.

Separately, Novo/Giant Step has changed its name to Semaphore Partners. The new moniker comes nearly ten months after the company was formed by the merger of Giant Step and Novo.
