Advertising M&A

“Advertising M&A were brought in to  help us determine our global growth  strategy and many thanks for their  insights and experience in helping put  us on the map!”

“My experience of working with Chris  and his team extends across 10 years  and during this time, they have helped  and advised us in finding some of the  best agency talent, properties and  insights we have ever had. Their advice  is always sales-neutral and they come  at a problem by understanding the  dynamics of the business and then  finding the best match. I would not  hesitate in recommending them in any  sector of digital media.”

“Advertising M&A helped us negotiate,  structure and finalise a joint venture  with M&C Saatchi. We are very  fortunate and grateful to have had  the opportunity to work with Chris  and his team who conducted the  negotiations in an excellent and  professional way. I would highly  recommend Advertising M&A to anyone  looking for strategic alliances.”

“Advertising M&A were selected by us  to help find a creative digital agency  because of their great experience in  this field and their knowledge of who  would fit best with our global  aspirations. They exceeded 
our expectations.”

“Advertising M&A have been a very  valuable partner to Foolproof,  understanding the strategic options  available to us as an ambitious  high-growth business. Their experience  and connections in particular are a  real competitive edge.”

“As well as Chris’ undoubted technical skills and experience in deal  construction and negotiation, what  was most impressive was the  open-minded and constructive way he  conducted our sale. This meant, not  only did I get the best and smartest  deal, but also that there was no harm  to the relationship between myself  and my new Russian owners after  what was a tough and protracted  negotiation. In fact, they went on to  use Advertising M&A for another  transaction of their own!”

“Lee & Thompson have worked with  Advertising M&A on a number of deals  over the years. They have superb  sector knowledge, an extensive  contacts book and years of  experience of putting deals together.  They have the ear of all the major  players and know how to structure  deals with an excellent sense of  whether a buyer and seller will be a  good fit and work together post  completion both in terms of culture  and strategy. Chris himself is also an  extremely nice person to do 
business with”

“Advertising M&A and Chris have the  standout ability to make positive  things happen for both clients and the  other parties. They crystallise  subjects and focus people’s attention  on what really matters. They  appreciate that whilst money is  important, there are other key aspects  to consider. They have brought a  couple of brilliant agencies to us and  helped negotiate win-win deals with  both of them. I would highly 
recommend them”.

“Chris Still is by far the most  knowledgeable person in the M&A  space for the marketing and digital  communications sector. His company  really understands our space and  they know all the key players who  make the difference. Their intimate  knowledge of the landscape is a  refreshing change from the more  traditional broad-brush approach by  their competitors (and I should know, I  came from one and have worked with  others!) They are our chosen M&A  advisors in our quest to
grow globally.”

“Advertising M&A helped us find some  of the best digital agencies in the  sector. Their connections are second  to none both here and in the US. I  cannot recommend them too highly.”

“You will rarely meet anyone who  knows quite so much as Chris does  about the Advertising and Digital  sector. His knowledge is encyclopedic  and always spot-on. If you are thinking  of selling your business or building it  into something more powerful, then  you would be foolish not to talk to  Advertising M&A first. It is a pleasure  to work with peope who are  trustworthy, creative and show real  integrity in their dealings with you.”

180 has consistently been one of  the most creative agencies in the  world for the past 10 years and when  we were looking for a global partner  to work with, we turned to Chris  and Advertising M&A to help us.  They negotiated an excellent deal  with TBWA & Omnicom and now we have  a micro-network of offices around  the world to service our  clients. Considerable thanks to them  for negotiating a highly complex deal  and a great multiple.”
