September 15, 2016 (New York, NY) – Petsky Prunier is pleased to announce that it has advised R2integrated (“R2i”), a leading independent, digital agency focused on integrating marketing cloud technology with brand strategy and demand generation, on its majority investment from Baird Capital. R2i’s senior management will retain a significant equity stake in the agency. R2i was previously a portfolio company of ORIX Mezzanine & Private Equity.

R2i guides companies through a complex marketing landscape and builds integrated solutions that accelerate success.

The agency was awarded Adobe Marketing Cloud Mid-Market Partner of the Year for its more than 400% year-over-year growth in its Adobe practice and has consistently produced award-winning work as recognized by Communicator Awards, W3s, Webby Awards, and Addys.

The investment will provide R2i with capital to support its strategic growth plans. R2i’s expansion opportunities include growth within specific geographic markets, industry verticals, and across its marketing cloud center of excellence and strategic partner channels, including Adobe, Sitecore, and Acquia Drupal. Baird Capital was attracted to R2i’s consistent revenue and profitability, as well as its ability to serve a growing but fragmented market with deep knowledge across technology-based marketing solutions.
