and who to talk to

Advertising M&A a specialist Mergers and Acquisitions consultancy exclusively for the advertising, digital, media and marketing services sectors. We advise agencies on growth and exit strategies and put companies together that wish to buy, sell or merge.

Who we are

We were set up more than 10 years ago in 2001 by Chris Still after a long and successful career in advertising, and we advise companies worldwide with our intimate knowledge of the sector and the key players within it.

Our international team of consultants is closely supported by some excellent media-literate legal, financial and tax advisors in each market to ensure you get the best advice on any transaction.

We are one of the very few M&A consultancies in the sector whose consultants are entirely recruited from people who have had careers in marketing services. Consultants who know and understand your sector intimately and know the issues you are facing.
