Clare Advisors Represents Elle Communications in its Sale to Dolphin Entertainment
Elle joins Dolphin’s publicity and marketing group as a division of 42West
Washington, D.C. – July 15, 2024 – M&A Advisory firm Clare Advisors (www.clareadvisors.com) is pleased to announce that it served as financial advisor to Elle Communications, the leading PR agency specializing in social and environmental impact, in its sale to Dolphin Entertainment, a publicly traded independent entertainment marketing and premium content production company.
Founded in 2008 by Danielle Finck, Elle Communications (www.ellecomm.com) was an early pioneer in social and environmental impact PR. The Elle Communications team has staffed countless red carpets, media-trained activists for the Oscars, led successful media events on Capitol Hill, hosted journalists and talent around the world, and have effectively strategized the communications platforms for for-profit companies like Uber’s equity and diversity arm all the way to world-changing NGOs like Baby2Baby and UNICEF.
Elle will become a division of 42West, while joining other preeminent PR firms Shore Fire Media, and The Door, influencer marketing agency The Digital Department, and celebrity booking and event agency Special Projects in the Dolphin Entertainment collection of specialty agencies. Danielle Finck and Silvie Snow-Thomas will lead Elle as Co-Presidents, with Elle’s entire senior leadership team and staff welcomed into Dolphin.
“Our mission has always been to work with best-in-class world changers and put them at the center of cultural conversations,” said Danielle. “No one knows how to tap into the zeitgeist better than 42West and its sister agencies that make up Dolphin Entertainment and we’re excited for the way we can scale our clients’ progress even more with our new partners.”
“Clare Advisors are the most effective M&A advisor that exists and any agency owner would be lucky to work with them. They offer such a high-touch service that it made me wonder how they possibly had any other clients – I felt like their full attention was on us at all times,” added Danielle. “They educated and supported me every step of the way, from the initial list of potential targets to the nuance of every legal and financial term. They applied attention to every detail and a strategic approach that resulted in a deal that surpassed my expectations.”
