StrategyOne acquired a research firm in 2011 called PluggedIN, which specialized in research online communities.{{Cite web |date=16 July 2011 |title=Edelman's Strategy One Buys Online Research Community Specialty {{!}} PRovoke Media |url=https://www.provokemedia.com/latest/article/edelman's-strategy-one-buys-online-research-community-specialty |access-date=23 February 2024 |website=PRovoke Media}}

In 2012, StrategyOne was subsumed into a newly-launched research venture, Edelman Berland. The new venture took its name from leading industry figure Michael Berland, who was appointed as its CEO.{{Cite web |date=5 September 2012 |title=Edelman appoints Michael Berland for global research role {{!}} PR Week |url=https://www.prweek.com/article/1148633/edelman-appoints-michael-berland-global-research-role |access-date=23 February 2024 |website=PR Week}}{{Cite web |date=6 September 2012 |title=Edelman Berland: an all new StrategyOne? {{!}} Feature {{!}} ResearchLive |url=https://www.research-live.com/article/features/edelman-berland-an-all-new-strategyone/id/4008184 |access-date=23 February 2024 |website=ResearchLive}}
