M&A advice grounded in the marketing and communications sector

Creative, media, PR, public affairs, brand, content, social, influencer, experiential and technology-enabled services increasingly overlap. Buyers look beyond the agency label. They test the proposition, client relationships, management team and the part the business could play in a wider group.

We set out where the business is different, identify the buyers or investors for whom that difference matters, and run the process without compromising confidentiality or day-to-day trading.

Advice for shareholders, groups and investors

Founders and shareholders appoint us for valuation, sale preparation, buyer positioning, negotiation and completion. Agency groups, corporates and financial investors use us for acquisition strategy, market intelligence, target identification and buy-side execution.

The best counterparty is often overseas. Our global sector team works with buyers and investors across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
