The PRN brand is back in the wake of the acquisition of the shopper marketing firm by STRATACACHE.

Stratacache has hired a guy named Dan Williams to lead its business development efforts in the QSR sector. Why that’s interesting is that Williams was at McDonald’s for 20 years and was the head of Digital and Print Menu Boards there, so he knows as much or more about the business case and logic for or against digital menus in QSR than anyone on the planet.

Dayton, Ohio-based Stratacache continues to push its business ops into new regions, announcing today it has opened an office in Bangalore, India and has plans to hire as many as 15 people.
