Global

In the US, marketing communications and technology really is big business. It features some of the largest groups in the sector, many of whom are keen to expand their operations into the UK and Europe.

London agencies, in particular, are a popular choice for US buyers. The UK is seen as the gateway to the rest of Europe and can also often offer expertise in emerging economies like Latin America and the APAC region.

Results International has a long history and an ever-increasing track record in transatlantic deals and corporate finance. Our close relationship with GroupArgent in New York means that companies have access to the wealth of experience developed by partners Drew Meyers, Pierre-Georges Roy and Maurice Watkins.

We understand the differences between the US and European markets, from legal structures to the cultural and commercial challenges. We help to avoid misunderstandings and find the middle ground.

We also know the US buyers, whether already in marketing communications or businesses in sectors like technology and media looking to expand their footprint.

Our recent transactions include:

• The acquisition of a stake in integrated agency iris Worldwide by publishing and media group Meredith
• The sale of healthcare communications Synergy to DDB Worldwide, part of Omnicom
• The sale of healthcare communications THG (Total Healthcare Group) to UBC (United BioSource corporation)

Looking forward, the North American market will remain vitally important to the global marketing communications and technology industry. The big networks have money to spend and need to diversify, while private equity-backed businesses in the sector are equally keen on international acquisitions.

We can help make big business even bigger and better.
