With EnerSys buying Purcell Systems, what happens to Princess Purcella?

So while we ponder the impact of EnerSys buying Spokane Valley-based manufacturing firm Purcell Systems, another question looms.

With the acquisition by the much much larger EnerSys, what happens to Purcella?

Purcella is the fanciful, slightly bizarre animated figure created by some marketing folks to promote and explain the goals and business services provided by Purcell Systems.  The campaign bragged that heat and cold and "EVEN accountants" can't stop her.  It would be ironic indeed if some accountant at EnerSys decides Purcella needs to go bye-bye.

If you care to go through the Purcella video experience, the link is here. Or click the video frame above.

Purcella, as the ads say, is your defender.  If anyone cares to volunteer the name of the firm or marketing guru who developed the Purcella campaign, we'd appreciate it.  We'd like to honor the creator of Purcella with a little Office Hours gift.  (Hint: It will be a gift certificate to a local coffee shop, in a relatively small dollar amount.)

The referrer who leaves us the name or contact of Purcella's creator will get something as well.
