Acquisition
Acquisition

With a history dating back to 1987, we intimately understand the marketing agency model. We’ve started ad agencies from the ground up, partnered with telecom giants, and acquired several high-performing communications firms. This track record enable us to drive high-growth and returns.

Difference
Difference

Our acquisition and investment structure focuses on shareholder returns, keeping marketing firms independent, and, importantly, preserving the legacy of our sellers. This is critical. Prolific has no interest in making acquisitions only to gut the teams who helped build the firm.

Growth

Given our expertise in the communications sector, we acquire and invest in category-leading brands who need great marketing firms. With invested interest in several of the nation’s top advertising agencies, our partners receive immediate value-added services with the potential to rapidly grow their business.

PARTNER PROFILE

Not angel. Not VC. Not PE.

We invest in growth stage companies that are category leaders or one move away from capturing greater market share. This approach has led us to focus on companies in, or in need of, the marketing and communications industry.
