What we do
We represent acquirers and consolidators end to end. We define the thesis, run a disciplined managed search, qualify targets against your criteria, and advise you through the transaction.
The process
01
Define the mandate
We pin down the thesis: what you want to own, where, and why.
02
Source the market
We map and approach targets, including agencies that are not openly for sale.
03
Qualify & engage
We screen for strategic fit, financial quality and culture before you spend time.
04
Transaction advisory
We advise on structure, valuation and negotiation through to completion.

Why Agency Futures
Disciplined managed search

Off-market access
We reach owners before they run a sale, where the best value sits.
Sector specialists
We only do marketing services agencies, so we read targets fast.
Partner-led throughout
Senior judgement on every approach, qualification and term.
