Canaccord Genuity Advises Adobe Gold Solution Partner LeapPoint on its Sale to Omnicom, Creating a Leading End-to-End Content Supply Chain Solution
Canaccord Genuity has advised LeapPoint, a digital advisory firm focused on helping organizations improve the orchestration and performance of their entire marketing lifecycle, on its sale to Omnicom’s precision marketing division, Omnicom Precision Marketing Group (OPMG). The move is part of OPMG’s strategic efforts to offer the industry’s most comprehensive end-to-end content solution, empowering marketers to accelerate workflows and deliver personalized experiences to their customers at speed and scale. LeapPoint was previously a portfolio company of private equity firm Renovus Capital Partners.
Led by Co-founder and CEO Nik DeBenedetto, LeapPoint helps Fortune 1000 enterprises optimize the performance of their marketing organizations by strategically integrating people, processes, and Adobe technology. As an Adobe Gold Solution Partner, LeapPoint has deep expertise across the entire Adobe Experience Cloud ecosystem, with a particular focus on Adobe Workfront, Fusion, and the rest of Adobe’s Content Supply Chain product offerings. The company’s services streamline and automate workflows, break down operational silos, and improve team collaboration. LeapPoint empowers creatives and marketers to work together with generative AI to minimize manual work and maximize creative output, providing them with valuable information needed to generate on-brand content at scale. The company’s certified consultants have delivered more than 600,000 hours of implementations and integrations and actively support hundreds of enterprise-level and Fortune 1000 clients.
The acquisition builds upon Omnicom’s longstanding partnership with Adobe. Omnicom is a proud user of Adobe’s Content Supply Chain solution to connect the people, processes, and technology necessary to provide Omnicom’s specialized, integrated client services.
“Renovus’ and Nik’s vision for LeapPoint aligned over the goal of becoming a leading Adobe partner,” said Jesse Serventi, Founding Partner of Renovus. “Our 2021 investment in LeapPoint was shortly after Adobe’s acquisition of Workfront, a mission critical product for marketers and LeapPoint’s historical core competency. Three years later, the LeapPoint team has built extensive expertise across Adobe Experience Cloud and has received Adobe’s Content Supply Chain Ready badge, recognizing the company’s commitment and demonstrated ability to help clients plan, create, and deliver personalized content at scale.”
