According to Mergermarket, a leading financial intelligence platform that compiles the most authoritative global monitor of M&A transactions and evaluates financial, legal and communications advisers, Community is the first and only Italian communications adviser among the top 20 European firms operating in the PR sector. In Europe, the company advised on 19 transactions, worth USD7.8 billion (EUR7.1 billion).
Furthermore, Community ranked first on the Italian market in terms of the number of transactions, comprising 16 deals, worth USD1.048 billion (EUR942 million).
This is an important accolade for Community, confirming its leadership both in Europe and in Italy; indeed, in 2018 the firm also ranked first among Italian PR consultancies at a global level.
Auro Palomba, CEO and Founder of Community Group, said: “This recognition confirms Community’s position as a leading player in the Italian and international financial communications advisory sector, particularly when it comes to large companies and investors looking to enter the Italian market. We are delighted that the Mergermarket ranking has once again recognised the skills of our strong, motivated and experienced team and our expertise in terms of the strategic vision we bring to international deals”.
