Consultancy eyes growth with investment 'firepower'

An advertising production consultancy is eyeing international expansion after securing “transformational” investment.

MurphyCobb & Associates has been backed by Leeds-based YFM Equity Partners.

Bosses say the support arms the firm with “firepower to scale globally and deepen its tech offer”.

Headquartered in London and operating across 38 countries, MurphyCobb & Associates works with companies including Reckitt, Mars, Coty and Toyota to streamline production systems and reduce clients’ carbon emissions. 

Pat Murphy, chief executive, said: “This is a transformational moment for our business. 

“Our team is obsessed with ensuring our clients are delivering the most impactful creative advertising and sourcing it in the smartest way possible. 

“With YFM’s backing, we now have the firepower to lead the way in sustainable marketing production.”

Adam Hart, partner at YFM Equity Partners, which complements its Yorkshire office with further sites in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Reading, added: “MurphyCobb & Associates is reshaping how major brands think about production. 

“Pat and his team have built something truly special, and we’re thrilled to support their next phase of ambitious growth.”
