Episode 340: The Role of Marketing in M&A with Angelo Ponzi
Want to make your business irresistible to buyers? Let’s talk MARKETING in M&A…
Too often, businesses focus only on financials when preparing for an acquisition—
But buyers don’t just pay for numbers. They pay for BRAND, POSITIONING, and GROWTH POTENTIAL.
If you’re ignoring marketing due diligence in M&A, you’re leaving money on the table.
A strong marketing strategy = higher valuations, smoother transitions, and long-term success post-acquisition.
So, ask yourself…
- Is your marketing engine driving real, measurable growth?
- Are you positioning your brand to attract strategic buyers?
If not, it’s time to rethink your approach.
I sat down with Angelo Ponzi on the DealQuest Podcast to break down the role of marketing in M&A—why it matters, how to get it right, and what buyers actually look for.
Even if you’re not selling anytime soon, these insights will help you build a business that thrives.
