M&A Success Stories
Real partnerships, real results
At Sharp Innovations, our approach to agency acquisitions centers on long-term value for everyone involved: owners, teams, and clients. When Triple Strength, a web design agency, merged with us in 2019, its founder gained financial peace of mind, a more flexible schedule, and the opportunity to focus on the work he enjoyed. He is now our senior designer and account manager. His clients benefit from our expanded digital marketing services and support.
In 2021, we acquired Netstride, a custom software firm. Their founder now leads innovation at Sharp and continues to serve existing clients while helping us to grow our martech offerings. In 2024, we acquired Surfside Solutions, a coastal digital marketing company. The acquisition aligned with our growth strategy and expanded our capabilities in web hosting and paid advertising.
At Sharp Innovations, our business philosophy is rooted in the belief that we should "treat others as you want to be treated." That principle, combined with a deep respect for the faith that guides our values, shapes every M&A conversation we enter.
For years, our CEO, Joe Sharp, has led several successful acquisitions of firms across the Mid-Atlantic region. These include digital marketing agencies, web hosting businesses, SEO firms, PPC agencies, graphic design studios, and martech companies. Each acquisition was handled with transparency, integrity, and a focus on long-term client retention. Our team implements thoughtful onboarding while prioritizing the preservation of trusted client relationships already in place.
We want to shape a solution that honors your legacy while positioning you for what's next.
A Trusted Leader in Marketing Agency Mergers
Experience, integrity, and a proven track record
Joe is not only a seasoned entrepreneur but also a published author, business coach, and frequent speaker on topics such as leadership and growth through acquisition. He continues to actively explore strategic opportunities with owners of smaller marketing firms and digital agencies who are looking for a partner they can trust with their business, team, and client base.
