OUR WORK THoma bravo
Creating a market leader.
Thoma Bravo is a middle-market private equity firm focused on software and services companies. Though it’s a company with visionary leaders and creative thinkers, the media coverage they were receiving centered entirely on their transactions. They wanted to broaden that narrative and position themselves as thought leaders in the private equity universe. That’s where FINN Partners came in.
FINN established a three-fold strategy to elevate Thoma Bravo’s stature among potential investors and potential portfolio company leadership:
- The first step was to establish thought leadership through speaking opportunities, awards, media placements, deal announcements, and expert positioning.
- Step two was to customize media strategies for national, targeted exposure in crowded fundraising environments.
- Finally, we planned to enhance visibility with consistent, timely news generation.
