LONDON—Fashion public relations specialist Talk PR, part of the M&C Saatchi group, has acquired a majority interest in technology agency Beam, which will join Talk to form a new technology, innovation and play division from January 2012.

Talk Technology will be headed by Beam founder Jane Leah, whose experience includes campaigns for clients including Fujifilm, Griffin Technology, T3 magazine, Navman, IWantOneOfThose.com and Gocycle. The existing Beam team will join Leah and relocate to Talk's headquarters in the West End of London.
