    E70: Accenture x Whalar (Agency), plus Walker Sands, Channable, Sitecore Deals Announced

    A month forecasted that Accenture was about to make a material acquisition in the creator space. This week it happened. Accenture Song is acquiring Whaler Agency — the most awarded creator agency in the Western hemisphere in a carve-out plus three-year partnership that's far more interesting than the headline. But is it really "the largest creator economy transaction ever"? Christian runs the math. The claim doesn't survive contact with a calculator unless there's a lot more going on than a simple agency purchase. Christian and Ayelet break down the structure, what Accenture actually bought (hint: it's the $600M in media spend and the measurement layer, not just the creators), and why this probably isn't the end of Accenture's media buying spree. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:39 — Welcome to Market and Deals Friday, June 12 1:20 — The victory lap: our Episode 61 Accenture prediction came true 2:06 — Why the deal took longer than expected (deals just take time) 2:20 — Why we didn't name Whaler at the time — protecting a people-heavy business 3:05 — When and how to tell your team you're selling: a real consideration for owners 3:46 — What happened: Whaler Agency joins Accenture Song, terms undisclosed 4:28 — The $44B creator economy and why Whaler sits in the middle of it 4:50 — The real prize: $600M in media spend + the measurement and data layer 5:33 — Reading it against the holdcos: consultants are coming for creator businesses 6:16 — The math problem: can this really be "the largest creator economy deal ever"? 6:50 — Why a $500M price on ~$12M EBITDA (40x) doesn't add up for the agency alone 8:00 — The carve-out + call option + licensing theory that makes the number work 8:30 — Is Whaler Agency just step one? Why Christian doesn't think so 9:46 — Accenture Song's creator build: 9 acquisitions in 2024 alone 10:16 — Why $600M in media spend is the growth-acceleration play vs. single-digit agency growth 12:28 — Moelis advised Whaler; Accenture Song's corp dev ran it in-house 13:46 — Why this is a planned (not closed) deal — and what shareholder disclosure will reveal 14:35 — Quick hit: Walker Sands acquires Rev Partners (Mountain Gate turns on the engine) 15:35 — Why Mountain Gate is already doing M&A less than a year into Walker Sands 16:00 — Quick hit: Channable acquires Metreon — server-side conversion tracking 16:41 — Quick hit: Sitecore acquires Scrunch — AI search optimization beyond traditional SEO 18:16 — The connective tissue: four deals, zero disclosed prices, all capability buys 18:31 — Why AI won't kill feed management anytime soon (the 20-30% false positive rabbit hole) 20:11 — The bet: Accenture's next move is about media, not agencies 20:38 — Structure over headline EV — the drum worth beating for every smaller shop 21:06 — Wrap and a Knicks championship wish 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A coverage on In/Organic Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

    E69: "Just Ask, Was Good or Bad": Kevin Simonson on His Second Exit, Selling adMixt to Interluxe Group

    Kevin Simonson has now sold two agencies. The first — Metric Digital to Wpromote in 2020. The second — adMixt to Interluxe Group, announced this week. And he came on In/Organic Live the same week the deal closed to talk about what's actually different the second time around. Christian and Ayelet sat down with Kevin — outgoing CEO of adMixt, now President of Performance Marketing at Interluxe Group — for an unusually candid conversation about deal structure, integration, and why the headline multiple tells you almost nothing about whether a deal was good. What we cover: Why Kevin took the adMixt CEO seat (a turnaround that wasn't actually broken), how a single text from a friend on a Mountain Gate board started the whole process, why there was no formal auction and the buyer recommended his own banker, why a strategic that didn't already offer his service line was the more interesting buyer, the "do no harm" integration approach — no title mapping, no email changes until 2027, how deal structures have shifted from 2020 to 2026 (equity loans, rollover treatment, the 2022 law change), and why Kevin now just asks friends "was it good or bad?" instead of asking about the multiple. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:12 — Welcome and guest intro: Kevin Simonson, outgoing CEO of adMixt 0:45 — Kevin's background: iProspect intern to Metric Digital to Wpromote to adMixt 1:39 — What adMixt does: "we get people to buy things on the internet" 2:07 — Why adMixt is different — they built their own media buying software 3:03 — Who is Interluxe Group? Experiential, media, and PR for luxury brands 4:02 — The Mountain Gate connection and how a single text started the deal 4:50 — Reverse due diligence: why trusted relationships de-risked the process 5:52 — No formal process: how the strategic buyer side reached out and stayed updated quarterly 6:46 — Why the buyer recommended Palazzo as Kevin's banker 7:26 — Why Interluxe was the right buyer: a brand-new service line vs. overlap at Wpromote 9:29 — The "do no harm" integration: no title mapping, no email changes, slow roll to 2027 10:10 — Deal structure: how it's changed from 2020 to 2026 (and the 2022 law change) 11:14 — Ayelet on the legal mechanics: asset vs. stock vs. membership interest purchase 12:56 — Why the multiple lies: "just ask if it was good or bad" 13:43 — Why structure matters more than the headline EV 14:07 — Mountain Gate's acquisition tear and the standing invite to Shamrock 15:11 — Kevin's credit to founder Zach and the foundation that made adMixt worth buying 16:15 — Why this was an excellent turnaround, well landed 🎙️ Guest: Kevin Simonson, President of Performance Marketing, Interluxe Group https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinsimonson/ Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

    E68: Sprinklr acquires ViralMoment, Asana Pays $75M for StackAI, Interluxe x adMixt

    our deals this week. One disclosed price. The same trade running through all of them — buyers acquiring capability quietly rather than building it. Christian and Ayelet break down what each deal actually signals about where the software and agency markets are heading — plus stick around for the live after-show with Kevin Simonson, CEO of adMixt, on the Interluxe Group acquisition. One deep dive. Three quick hits. One live after-show. What we cover: Why Sprinklr restarted M&A after nearly five years and what choosing ViralMoment first says about the market, the "tale of two cities" in AI exits — top 1% startups clearing the preference stack vs. capability tuck-ins sold as assets, why Asana's $75M StackAI deal is the other side of that coin, and how two ad tech and agency deals (Peer39/Adloox and Interluxe/adMixt) reflect the same buy-not-build logic. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Welcome to Market and Deals Friday 0:30 — Quick market context: the data is backing up the thesis 2:50 — Why corporate M&A is surging while PE volume drops 4:11 — Deal #1: Sprinklr acquires ViralMoment — video-native social intelligence 5:00 — The gap it fills: social moved to video, listening tools are still text-based 5:50 — ViralMoment background: founded by Chelsea Hall, Carnegie Mellon, seed-stage 6:27 — Sprinklr's earnings context and why this was a buy-not-build asset deal 7:30 — The tale of two cities: top 1% AI startups vs. capability tuck-ins 8:30 — Sprinklr is hiring an M&A role right now (and Christian's soapbox on the title) 9:22 — Deal #2: Asana acquires StackAI for ~$75M — clearing the preference stack 10:00 — Why this is the "right tech, right team, right investor" version of the same trade 10:30 — The MIT startup angle and the agent execution layer Asana was buying 11:01 — Deal #3: Peer39 acquires Adloox from Scope3 — walled garden verification 11:50 — Why this matters against DoubleVerify and IAS 11:55 — Deal #4: Interluxe Group acquires adMixt — performance firepower for luxury 12:56 — The thread tying all four deals together: buy is beating build 13:27 — Tease: big announcement next week + after-show with Kevin Simonson of adMixt Links: Goldman report: https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/ma-volume-expected-to-surge-this-year-despite-economic-uncertainty EY Parthenon report: https://www.ey.com/en_us/newsroom/2026/06/ey-parthenon-forecasts-resilient-8-percent-growth-in-us-dealmaking-in-2026-despite-geopolitical-and-economic-headwinds Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

  4. E67: Why NewEngen is Buying What Other Agencies Don't Understand ft. Justin Hayashi

    E67: Why NewEngen is Buying What Other Agencies Don't Understand ft. Justin Hayashi

    Most scaled independents looked at Grapevine.ai during the sale process and didn't get it. They couldn't process the economic model. They didn't know how to assess the technology. Justin Hayashi leaned in and won. Recorded at Possible 2026 in the Unplugged Collective pavilion, Christian Hassold and Ayelet Shipley sat down with Justin Hayashi, CEO of NewEngen, one of the most tech-forward independents in the market to break down how he thinks about acquisitions, what makes NewEngen genuinely different from its peers, and what he's looking for next. NewEngen started in 2016 as a tech company trying to dethrone Marin Software, among others. It evolved into the agency their clients always said they were and built a platform around content, creator marketing, and measurement that most of their competitors can't replicate. What we cover: The origin story; from Zulily's IPO to trying to build a bidding algorithm to accidentally building an agency, how three acquisitions in the content and creator space shaped NewEngen's differentiated positioning, the Grapevine.ai deal thesis and why beating an aggressive forecast during diligence was the final proof of conviction, how NewEngen handles integration with a "do no harm" philosophy while keeping brands like Donut Studios intentionally separate, and the buy box for what comes next: social, content, measurement, and commerce. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:12: Cold open: does the YC target on agency backs keep you up at night? 1:08: Welcome and guest intro: Justin Hayashi, CEO of NewEngen, at Possible 2026 1:19: The backstory: from Zulily IPO and billion-dollar sale to Qurate, to founding NewEngen 2:25: The original thesis: dethrone Marin Software and Kenshoo — and why it didn't work 3:58: The pivot: from SaaS company (that clients kept calling an agency) to what NewEngen is today 4:28: Tech-enabled DNA: what survived the pivot and what defines NewEngen now 5:54: What scaled independents are getting wrong — and where NewEngen differentiates 6:45: Three acquisitions in the content and creator space: why content was always the bet 7:23: The Grapevine.ai deal: why most scaled independents walked away and NewEngen stepped up 8:04: Why Caroline's conviction and operator mindset won the first filter 9:00: 900 vetted, high-performing creators vs. seven million claims — the quality argument 10:29: Two lenses: founder CEO conviction vs. PE underwriting — how Justin navigated both 11:06: The aggressive forecast, the bottoms-up conviction, and what actually happened 11:30: Zuckerberg's earnings calls as diligence data: short-form video growth 20% → 30% YoY 12:43: What made Grapevine.ai hard for strategic buyers: long-tail revenue and small contracts 13:37: How Caroline's client migration story played out in real time during diligence 15:19: Donut Digital acquisition: "do no harm" integration and why they kept the brand 16:45: LT Partners vs. Acorn Influence vs. Donut Studios: three different integration approaches 17:57: The hardest integration lesson: get alignment on goalposts before you close 18:59: Buy box: social/content, measurement, commerce, B2C only, $3-12M revenue sweet spot 21:02: Closing take: NewEngen is the software-led agency ready to take on Silicon Valley 🎙️ Guest: Justin Hayashi, CEO, NewEngen | Recorded at Possible 2026 https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinhayashi/ Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co 🔔 Subscribe for weekly M&A and agency coverage on In/Organic Hosted on Acast.

  6. E65: Four Acquisitions in 9 Months, $700M in Retail Media Spend: Podean's M&A Tear

    May 26

    E65: Four Acquisitions in 9 Months, $700M in Retail Media Spend: Podean's M&A Tear

    Podean just closed their fourth acquisition in nine months. Travis Johnson is hinting at a fifth. Mountain Gate's strategic roadmap had six puzzle pieces. Four are filled. Two more to go. This is what a PE-backed independent agency rollup looks like when it's working. Travis Johnson — CEO and co-founder of Podean, the largest independent global marketplace-focused agency — is back on In/Organic to walk through the full acquisition path: what each deal was designed to solve, how they've learned to lead with culture before due diligence, why they stopped taking cold calls and built a one-pager instead, and what's still missing from the platform. At roughly 400 people and growing toward 500, managing $600-700M in retail media spend and driving approximately $5-6B in client sales — Podean may be the most acquisitive independent agency in the US right now. And they're not done. What we cover: The rationale behind each of the four acquisitions — Commerce Canal, AdAdvance, AdMerge, and CartBloom — why Walmart is growing faster than Amazon and CartBloom fills that gap, the hard lesson of spending six months on a deal that fell apart on culture, how Mountain Gate runs the identification process while Podean runs the relationship, the one-pager filter that stops time-wasting calls before they start, and what the next acquisition is probably going to be. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:26 — Welcome back and a quick apology to the 2,180 YouTube subscribers 1:23 — Travis Johnson reintroduction: Podean, Mountain Gate backing, four deals in nine months 2:44 — Quick refresh: the four acquisitions — Commerce Canal, AdAdvance, AdMerge, CartBloom 3:37 — Podean's strategic thesis: end-to-end, global, social commerce, retail management 4:15 — Breaking down each acquisition: what did it add? 4:43 — Commerce Canal: retail operations depth, logistics, apparel vertical, New York office 5:55 — AdAdvance: media-only depth, Amazon relationships, Streamline tech platform 7:30 — AdMerge: two-thirds ex-Amazon team, global footprint now 21 countries, EmergeView and Emerge Engine 9:30 — CartBloom: ex-Amazon, ex-Walmart founders, specialist Walmart depth in the fastest-growing retail media platform 10:32 — Deal process breakdown: three proprietary, one banker-run (AdMerge) 11:20 — What's still missing: social commerce globally and AI-native tech 12:14 — TikTok Shop growing globally — Ireland, Europe, US numbers keep rising 12:43 — Tech consolidation: from 6 tech people to 30, building AI-native unified platform 14:08 — 400+ headcount, $600-700M retail media spend, $5-6B in client sales 15:35 — "Just drop Codex on the file system and tell it to fix everything" 16:13 — Advice for smaller agencies: don't get distracted, run a solid business first 17:00 — The hard lesson: six months on a deal that fell apart on culture fit 18:02 — Lead with culture first, numbers second — the pivot that changed their process 18:25 — What taking PE money actually means: "You're about to sprint faster than you've ever sprinted" 19:30 — Integration is hard: HR platforms, titles, tools, ways of working all different 20:04 — Mountain Gate's role: strategic roadmap session, identification, deal sourcing 20:38 — Six puzzle pieces. Four filled. Two more to go. 22:13 — The one-pager filter: how to triage inbound without wasting time 24:00 — Number five is coming.

    S1: From Employee 20 to Bootstrap CEO: Joe Gadreau on Building the Data Layer Nobody Wanted to Build

    Everyone wanted the commerce front end. Nobody wanted the data. Joe Gadreau watched agency after agency walk away from the hardest — and most important — part of the commerce stack while he was at Salsify. So he went and built it himself. Recorded live at Salsify's Digital Shelf Summit in Atlanta, Christian sat down with Joe Gadreau, founder and CEO of Lettuce Commerce, for a conversation about what it means to be an AI-native services company in 2024, why the "bill you forever" managed services model is dying, and how the convergence of software and services is reshaping what the next generation of consulting firms actually looks like. What we cover: Why Joe left one of the first 20 seats at Salsify to start his own thing, the car and fuel analogy that explains why product content is the most overlooked piece of the commerce stack, how Lettuce Commerce is going after legacy SI firms head-on, Sequoia's thesis on the next trillion dollar company masquerading as a services firm, and what a bootstrapped founder thinks about capital, scale, and the right moment to consider outside investment. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:26 — Welcome and guest intro: Joe Gadreau, founder and CEO of Lettuce Commerce 0:44 — Joe's background: athlete tracking technology to employee #20 at Salsify 1:40 — Why Salsify was the right place to build a professional foundation 2:34 — The moment you know it's time to start your own thing 3:13 — The thesis: everyone builds the commerce front end, nobody fuels it with data 4:25 — "Let us help" — where the name Lettuce Commerce actually came from 5:16 — What Lettuce Commerce does: systems integrator meets strategic consultancy 6:30 — Helping clients pick the right technology, not just implement what they chose 7:43 — How Joe thinks about competing with Accenture Song and Amplify 8:00 — AI-native from day one: founded January 2024, the same era as ChatGPT 9:00 — Eating the lunch of legacy services firms built on perpetual managed services revenue 9:41 — The difference between hand-holding and genuine change management 11:22 — Repeat customers who want help with the next stage vs. dependency models 11:52 — The software-services convergence: what does it actually mean for a services business? 12:17 — Sequoia's bold statement: the next trillion dollar company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm 13:03 — Is Lettuce the orchestrator or part of a bigger journey? 13:26 — Bootstrapped and proud — and approaching the point where capital could accelerate ambition 14:34 — Controlling your own destiny while staying open to the right combination 14:57 — Christian's read: a product-led partnership is in Lettuce's not-too-distant future 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the big announcement Connect with Guest, Joe Gaudreau https://www.linkedin.com/in/joegaudreau/ Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.

    E64: Anthropic Just Pulled Off Competitive Denial M&A + KPMG M&A Market Update

    Most AI acquisitions add a layer. This one removed a layer — for everyone else. Anthropic acquired Stainless, the developer tools company that built SDKs for OpenAI, Google, Cloudflare, Perplexity, and dozens of other AI and fintech platforms. Then they wound down all hosted Stainless products. The shared supplier is no longer neutral. The tollbooth just changed hands. Christian and Ayelet break down what happened, why it matters for every agency and AI startup in the market, and what the KPMG Q1 2026 M&A data actually says about where deal activity is heading. One deal. One market update. Fifteen minutes. (Plus some Riverside FM chaos.) TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Welcome back, noisy week, Publicis/LiveRamp hangover 0:45 — KPMG Q1 2026 M&A report: deal values up 88.3% to $446B, deal count down 2:30 — Strategic vs. PE deal activity: 864 strategic, 495 PE in Q1 2026 3:23 — Advertising sector: 145 deals in Q1 2026, flat to slightly up 4:00 — Why Christian is predicting a Q2 uptick in strategic activity 4:42 — The deals happening behind closed doors that don't show in the data 5:01 — Deal: Anthropic acquires Stainless — $300M+ for the SDK plumbing of the AI industry 5:45 — What Stainless actually does: API specs into ready-to-use SDKs across languages 6:10 — The competitive denial angle: Stainless built SDKs for OpenAI, Google, Cloudflare, Perplexity 6:30 — What "winding down hosted products" actually means for Stainless customers 7:44 — Deal terms: $300M+ reported, ~2x the December 2024 Series A valuation of $150M 8:00 — Anthropic's acquisition pattern: Wunderkind, Intercepted, Coefficient Bio, now Stainless 9:00 — The through line: small specialized teams making Claude better — except Stainless is different 9:16 — If you're a shared supplier to competing platforms, you are an acquisition target 10:03 — Why this matters for every agency and commerce business building on AI 10:30 — The MCP angle: Model Context Protocol and why connectivity is the next battleground 12:29 — Why Anthropic investing in Stainless is probably also an aggressive MCP build 13:46 — The AI exit multiple conversation: how the timeline is compressing 14:25 — Grapevine AI / New Engine: outsized early exit with real AI capability 15:05 — "Capture the flag" — why traditional grow-then-sell timelines no longer apply 15:21 — Wrap, Memorial Day wishes, and please someone recommend an alternative to Riverside Link to the KPMG report: https://kpmg.com/us/en/articles/mergers-acquisitions-trends-tech-media-telecom.html 🔔 Live every Friday — subscribe so you don't miss the big announcement 💬 Drop your guesses on the mystery buyer in the comments Connect with Christian and Ayelet Ayelet’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Christian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/ Web: https://www.inorganicpodcast.co Hosted on Acast.
