Cactus 2023 wrapped

In the spirit of Spotify Wrapped, we’ve taken a look back over the last year at Cactus as we bolstered our position as leaders in Agency Mergers and Acquisitions.

This year we had 55 conversations with agency owners and founders as they planned the next stages for their businesses. Whether their plans were to exit or scale through acquisition, our expert M&A team offered impartial advice and recommendations. 

We were also honoured to support four of our clients, SQN, Session Media, Grist and Create Future as they went through the journey of selling their agencies.

We brought together agency owners and founders across 19 events including 9 round tables, 3 panel discussions, 2 networking drinks and 5 sporting activities. With all of our events being exclusive to agency founders there were some fascinating conversations had and great connections made.

Our network of founders running agencies of over 20 people / £2m revenue has grown to well over 200 and as agency M&A and growth experts, we curated events and thought leadership across key subject matters:

Scaling your agency through acquisition

Implementing a senior leadership team

Ensuring successful M&A transactions

Building a better Now, Next and Future for your agency

2023 also saw the launch of our newsletter The M&A Insider and in only eight months we have over 1,000 LinkedIn and more than 400 email subscribers.
