After considerable legal wrangling and an initial delay Thursday at Federal Bankruptcy Court in Boston, the proposed sale of HookMedia’s assets to Media Contacts, a division of Havas Advertising, was approved by Judge Carol Kenner.

HookMedia’s flagship office in Boston will be renamed Media Contacts; Hook’s New York outpost will be folded into Media Contacts’ existing Manhattan operations, sources said.

Most of the shop’s 50 employees in both Boston and New York will be offered positions by Media Contacts, including Hook founder/CEO Don Epperson, who will continue to head the Boston office, sources said.
