Adweek Acquired By PE Firm Shamrock Capital

Adweek CEO Jeffrey Litvack, who will stay on after the sale, declined to share financial terms of the sale, but tells Folio: that the deal had been in the works for several months, since well before the start of the pandemic. Despite a reliance on in-person gatherings, Adweek pivoted quickly to a virtual events strategy, he said, which has allowed it to maintain cash flow and avoid making any major cutbacks. An announcement adds that "Adweek’s editorial and business operations remain unchanged" following the sale. “Adweek’s experienced management team has done a tremendous job of building on its established brand, expanding its industry coverage and its product offering to further solidify its leading position in the marketplace," said Laura Held, partner at Shamrock Capital, in a statement.
