Digital Marketing, Media & Marketing Technology

As CEO of DoubleClick, we sought Gridley’s advice on potential cross channel database marketing strategies and hired Gridley to advise us on the acquisition of Performics. We were introduced to Performics at Gridley’s annual January conference and Gridley helped to keep those conversations proprietary and avoid a big auction process. Since then, I hired Linda and her team on another assignment and also have been a frequent speaker at her events. Their January conference brings together an exceptional networking opportunity for senior decision makers in the internet and marketing services industries.

This marriage offers us the best of both worlds: the autonomy to continue pursuing OkCupid's original vision and the ability to leverage Match's reach and expertise to grow even faster. Jon Guido and the team at AGC were instrumental in helping us determine which party was the best fit and did whatever was needed to bring our transaction to a close. I would strongly recommend AGC as an M&A advisor.

Ben and the AGC team understood our markets and our company, and were very connected with the most logical buyers of InternetSafety.com. We are excited about our future within McAfee and believe that AGC was the ideal advisor to facilitate our sale to the right long-term partner. I look forward to working with Ben and the AGC team again on my next venture.
