Michaels and Richards: The Arts and Crafts of a Brand Deal
DALLAS–The Richards Group here was tapped last week to take on branding strategy chores for Michaels Stores, a nationwide chain of arts and crafts outlets.
Billings were being negotiated at press time, according to the client and the agency.
