With 17 transactions totalling over twenty-three billion euros, Community – a reputation management group founded and led by Auro Palomba has established itself as Italy’s first and only financial communications adviser, reaching 6th place in the global rankings according to Mergermarket, a privileged observatory of financial intelligence that compiles the most authoritative monitor of M& A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions worldwide and surveys financial, legal and communications advisers. The ranking considers the value of transactions monitored in the first six months of the current year: the company reported 17 transactions worldwide, with a total value of USD 27.046 billion (equivalent to EUR 23.6 billion).
Furthermore, in terms of transaction value Community is also the top Italian adviser in the national rankings and ranks fourth in the European rankings.
This is a significant accolade for Community, which, following the milestones achieved in recent months, reaffirms its global leadership.
Auro Palomba, the chairman and founder of Community, said: “In an increasingly complex environment that has been severely tested by the pandemic, M&A activity has not come to a standstill; on the contrary, I believe that the second half of the year may see an increase in such activity, as companies will need to focus and create new synergies. Amidst profound change, which has also affected the media landscape, Community has successfully supported numerous organisations, thereby confirming its position as a leading player in the national and international market for financial communications consultancy.”.
