What we do
Hunter Hawes & Co. is a specialist M&A advisory firm focused on the creative, marketing, consulting and professional services sector. We act on both sides of the deal, advising agency founders preparing to exit, acquirers building groups through strategic acquisition, and operators aiming to compound enterprise value before a sale.
- Sell-side advisory — Confidential, founder-led sale processes with buyers selected for cultural and strategic fit.
- Buy-side advisory — Sourcing, evaluating and executing acquisitions for strategic and financial buyers, including off-market deals.
- Programmatic M&A — A structured, repeatable acquisition methodology for groups building scale through bolt-ons.
- Grow agency value — Pre-exit value engineering covering growth, operations and management systems.
Who we work with
We focus on agencies and consultancies generally between £2m and £20m in revenue, including digital marketing agencies, creative agencies, branding studios, PR firms, content agencies, performance and media agencies, technology consultancies, and professional services firms in adjacent sectors.
How we are different
Every Hunter Hawes mandate is principal-led. We have built, scaled and exited agencies ourselves, so we negotiate from operator experience, not abstract theory. We take on a limited number of clients each year and each transaction is run by senior people from start to finish.
