Prosper Group Advises UpSpring on its Acquisition of Epiphany
Prosper Group is pleased to have advised UpSpring on its acquisition of digital marketing company Epiphany Studio. Prosper Group's team of former agency owners assisted UpSpring ownership on evaluating the value of Epiphany and supported them in developing the transaction model.
UpSpring is a full-service communications firm, specializes in the "built environment" – with a focus on architecture and design firms, building materials, engineering and construction companies, home products, residential interiors, and real estate. Epiphany Studio focuses on brand and digital marketing services. The acquisition includes Epiphany’s clients and its team. Susan Fernandez, founder of Epiphany, will join UpSpring as vice president of digital marketing and will lead both B2B and B2C digital efforts.
With this expansion UpSpring will offer expanded services to its clients including media relations, brand marketing, digital marketing, social engagement, product placement, event/activation marketing, sponsorships, and crisis management.
“The acquisition of Epiphany is just one way that UpSpring is expanding its capabilities to reflect the demands of the industry,” said UpSpring CEO Tiffany Rafii.
