Redefining digital agency aggregation

We acquire digital agencies, aggregate into groups, develop agency succession, standardize processes and grow their revenues and profits.

The great opportunity at hand

AVA is positioned to become the leading “Scale at Speed” agency aggregation platform.

We are a diverse collective of business, strategy, innovation, and leadership specialists on a mission to transform the agency M&A landscape.

We are dedicated to acquiring agencies that we believe in — agencies whose culture speaks to us just as much as their growth potential. We buy agencies who want to play on a bigger stage and have the talent to maximize their potential (and their ROI).

AVA’S approach to agency acquisition

Step 1: Source Agencies

Select the right agencies to acquire, identifying those with underlying growth potential.

Step 3: Scale

Develop succession teams to manage agencies while locking in owners through a short transition.

Step 2: Standardize

Implement proven, repeatable and standardized processes to drive consistent double-digit growth.

The AVA M&A solution

AVA executes its group M&A strategy by leveraging a proven proprietary system executed by a seasoned team.

Our M&A strategy simplifies aggregating and integrating with multiple limited-size groups versus full roll-up and utilizes the “Scale at Speed” methodology, giving it the capability to double agency revenue in 24 months.
