Your Agency Built Brands. Now Let's Build Your Exit Value.

We understand CAC, LTV, retainer models, and what makes marketing agencies valuable to acquirers. From performance marketing shops to full-service creative agencies - we speak your language.

Marketing Agency M&A is Exploding

Publicis, WPP, Omnicom, and hundreds of PE-backed platforms are acquiring agencies at record pace. First-party data deprecation and iOS changes are driving consolidation as brands seek integrated solutions.

Privacy-First Marketing

iOS 14.5+ and cookie deprecation are forcing brands to work with agencies that have first-party data capabilities, server-side tracking, and advanced attribution modeling.

Premium Valuations

Performance agencies with proven ROAS track records are commanding 6-12x EBITDA. Recurring retainer models and MRR are valued like SaaS businesses.

Platform Consolidation

Holding companies are building full-stack capabilities by acquiring specialized agencies. Your niche expertise in programmatic, CTV, or TikTok ads is highly sought after.

What Drives Agency Valuations

We know exactly what acquirers look for when evaluating marketing agencies - from client concentration to recurring revenue models to proprietary technology.

Recurring Revenue Model

Monthly retainers, performance fees, and SaaS-like revenue streams command premium multiples. Predictable MRR is valued like subscription businesses.

Client Diversification

No single client over 20% of revenue, long-term contracts, and low churn rates demonstrate business stability and reduce concentration risk.

Proprietary Capabilities

First-party data assets, proprietary technology, exclusive partnerships, or unique methodologies that create competitive moats and pricing power.

Strong Unit Economics

High gross margins (60%+), efficient CAC payback periods, strong LTV:CAC ratios, and scalable delivery models that don't require linear headcount growth.

Proven Performance

Documented ROAS improvements, case studies with measurable results, industry awards, and client testimonials that demonstrate clear value delivery.

Management Team

Strong leadership team with industry expertise, low key person risk, documented processes, and ability to operate independently post-acquisition.
