RICHMOND, Va. (June 8, 2017) – Padilla announced today that it has acquired INM United, a digital strategy and development firm based in Richmond, Virginia. INM became a part of Padilla’s existing creative and digital team effective June 1.

For nearly two decades, INM United has produced hundreds of digital applications for clients including Fortune 500 companies, startups, universities and nonprofit organizations. The company’s six employees will relocate to Padilla’s Richmond office by the end of June.
