EMOTIONAL BRANDING EXPERTS COHERENCY TO COMBINE WITH TAPESTRY

LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Screen Engine/ASI announced today that two of its research agencies – Coherency and Tapestry – will come together under the Tapestry brand, creating a new combined agency of over 50 research professionals across the US and UK.

Coherency Co-Founders Steve Markov and Jeff Meleski decided, last year, to retire from the business they founded more than 10 years ago. Lee Lodes, Coherency's third Co-Founder, will continue in a strategic lead role across select accounts at Tapestry. The new, combined agency, will be led by current Tapestry Co-Managing Directors Ian Wright and Kevin Thompson.

The move combines Coherency's pioneering, emotion-based research with Tapestry's award-winning expertise in audience understanding, advanced analytics and AI-powered research solutions.

Clients of Tapestry will now benefit from the deep expertise of both firms, including:

LoveQuotient™ – Coherency's unparalleled approach to measuring brand love, rooted in relationship science.

Daisy – Tapestry's suite of proprietary AI-enabled survey tools, bridging the gap between quantitative scale and qualitative nuance.

"Steve and Jeff built an exceptional agency in Coherency, with the ground-breaking LoveQuotient™ offering a completely new way for brands to measure and deepen their relationship with customers", said Ian Wright, Co-MD at Tapestry. "We're excited to bring together the talent in both agencies to create new market-leading tools that combine deep emotional connection with advanced data science."
