Building a Marketing Dream Team

We partner with management teams that demonstrate significant go-forward commitment to their business and seek to execute an accelerated growth strategy alongside them.

Objectives for initial transaction

We intentionally manage a concentrated portfolio focusing on the fragmented industry of digital marketing and MarTech; an industry we believe to be primed for massive growth and scalability, particularly within M&A. We predominately target agencies  specializing in modern services such as social media, media buying, creative, consulting, SEO, email marketing, and more allowing us to dedicate more time and resources to each investment and partnership.


Our objectives for each initial transaction:


  • Deliver meaningful liquidity event for shareholders today, allowing them to de-risk and diversify assets
  • Provide growth capital to execute strategies intended to accelerate future growth of the whole group
  • Provide operating partners with upside post-transaction
  • Management maintain day-to-day control of their business, while contributing to the group's collective growth
  • Enable shared resources within the larger platform
  • Partnership creates the “ground floor” platform company where owner-operators can achieve maximum value creation with increased scale and institutionalization of the platform

FAQ

  • What is the strategy?

    Our strategy is to roll-up modern specialized digital marketing agencies that meet our investment criteria. We acquire 80% - 100% of each agency's assets for a 2-4x EBITDA multiple and plan to exit the group for a 7x+ EBITDA multiple to a lower-middle market private equity firm, competitor, or family office. 


    We structure every deal with low cash-at-close to desrisk the transaction from the onset and build-in an earn-out, interest-only promissory note and/or deferred cash payments to the backend usually over a 2-4 year period.
