Private-equity communications may address limited partners, portfolio employees, sellers, regulators, and the public. These audiences need different information and approval paths. The firms below identify private-capital or private-equity work on their own sites; the list is not a ranking.
Firms to consider
Brackendale Consulting
Private-capital PR and investor marketing. Brackendale describes public relations, investor marketing, and design for private equity and other private-capital sectors. Clarify whether an assignment is aimed at investors, deal counterparties, portfolio customers, or multiple groups.
Identity
Private-equity and family-office communications. Identity lists communications support for private-equity firms and family offices, including internal and external communication around company changes. Ask for relevant transaction and post-transaction examples.
Gasthalter
Financial and special-situations communications. Gasthalter presents capital-markets, crisis, governance, and private-equity communications capabilities. For a sensitive matter, confirm the responsible senior team and the boundaries of public comment.
Burway
Private-markets communications. Burway positions itself as a private-markets specialist. A buyer should test its experience with the fund strategy, relevant markets, and the intended investor or stakeholder audience.
How to compare
- Identify the exact task: firm positioning, fundraising support, acquisition announcement, portfolio communications, or a sensitive issue.
- Ask about conflicts, confidentiality controls, approval rights, and coordination with counsel and investor-relations teams.
- Evaluate relevant case studies by audience and outcome, not simply number of placements.
- Agree how claims, transaction status, performance figures, and forward-looking statements will be checked.
Before you contact a firm
An agency's sector page describes capabilities, not a guarantee of fundraising or transaction results. Material financial claims and disclosures require the firm's authorized review before publication. Check a prospective partner's current team and scope directly.
These descriptions reflect the firms' own published service information. Request a current proposal and check fit, conflicts, and terms directly with each firm.
