The Stevens Group

The first acquisition made by a public relations agency is both invigorating and frustrating. It’s invigorating because the acquirer has made the decision that agency growth can be achieved through acquisition as well as organic.  And frustrating because the work involved in making an acquisition is hard work and almost always burns up a lot of time, especially if the buyer chooses to go it alone and not engage the help of M & A professional.

The frustrating part of an acquisition can be in the details – how to evaluate the prospect, how to structure a deal, what a purchase agreement should include.

But ask anyone who has made an acquisition.

Nine out of ten times, that person will have benefited from the new blood in his organization and is now able to offer clients far greater services and resources than ever before.In short, acquisitions are a surefire way to grow.
