Our long standing client, public relations agency, Sling & Stone, (S&S) has been acquired by global agency VCCP Business, part of VCCP.
We were thrilled to act on this transaction, having acted for the S&S business for in excess of 6 years.
The team was led by Director, John Coghlan, with support from Senior Associate, Tamim Rahman and Lawyer, Marcus Triado.
The S&S business complements VCCP’s existing global network of innovative media, communications and marketing firms who together now boast a 250+ strong team. It is expected that the combined agencies will bring in upwards of $50M a year in billings.
We are proud to have shared in the journey of the S&S business and congratulate the team on their incredible success.
Speaking on the transaction, Vuki Vujasinovic, Founder and CEO of S&S, said:
When we've faced some of the most important decisions in running our agency, it's always John and his team at CD+Co that we turn to for support. They've been there every step of the way for Sling & Stone, from our infancy through to our global expansion, and now ushering in this exciting new chapter.
VCCP Business was represented by its Australian counsel, Baker McKenzie.
