  • “Gridley has been a terrific strategic partner for us
    since 2007. We have worked with them to successfully complete
    five acquisitions across multiple digital marketing sectors. The Gridley team often uses its network to bring us potential business partnership opportunities and introduce us to relevant senior executives in the industry. They go beyond just being a ‘transaction oriented’
    investment bank and we appreciate that.”

    Michael Rubin, Founder and CEO, GSI Commerce

  • “As CEO of DoubleClick, we sought Gridley’s advice on potential cross channel database marketing strategies and hired Gridley to advise us on the acquisition of Performics. We were introduced to Performics at Gridley’s annual January conference and Gridley helped to keep those conversations proprietary and avoid a big auction process. Their January conference brings together an exceptional networking opportunity for senior decision makers in the internet and marketing services industries.”

    Kevin Ryan, CEO, Gilt Groupe

  • “I find Gridley & Company’s focus on the intersection of media, marketing, technology and the internet to be relatively unique amongst the boutique advisors, providing them with value-added insight into early trends affecting those markets.  Their January conference is a great way for me to kick off the year through a combination of terrific networking and insightful presentations.”

    Neil Garfinkel, Founding Partner, Franscisco Partners
