知情人士表示，通信控股公司公共政策控股（PPHC.L）正以最高8000万美元收购战略传播公司Reevemark。
Communications holding company Public Policy Holding (PPHC.L) is buying strategic communications firm Reevemark for as much as $80 million, people familiar with the deal said.
此次收购将扩大PPHC在诉讼、监管支持和危机管理方面的业务，并标志着其在四个月内完成的第二起诉讼传播交易，此前该公司已收购了位于伦敦和米兰的Tancredi Intelligent Communication。
The acquisition will expand PPHC's offerings in litigation, regulatory support and crisis management, and marks its second litigation communications deal in four months after it bought London- and Milan-based Tancredi Intelligent Communication.
总部位于纽约、拥有17名员工的Reevemark，将作为PPHC旗下TrailRunner International集团内的独立业务运营。该公司常被美国顶级诉讼律所和股东行动主义律所聘请，并曾代表康奈尔大学处理一起重大性侵案件。其业务还涉及并购、重组和监管调查。
Reevemark, which is based in New York and employs 17 people, will operate as a standalone business within PPHC's TrailRunner International group. The firm is often retained by top US litigation firms and shareholder activism law firms and has represented Cornell University as the Ivy League school handles a major sexual assault case. It also works on M&A, restructuring and regulatory investigations.
Reevemark由Brandy Bergman、Hugh Burns、Paul Caminiti、Delia Cannan和Renee Soto于2018年创立，这五人均为公关巨头Sard Verbinnen的前合伙人和高级高管。
It was founded in 2018 by Brandy Bergman, Hugh Burns, Paul Caminiti, Delia Cannan and Renee Soto — five former partners and senior executives at public relations giant Sard Verbinnen.
知情人士表示，首期2800万美元款项于11月1日完成支付，其中95%以现金支付。这些人士未获授权就出售事宜公开发表评论，并拒绝透露身份。知情人士补充称，创始合伙人均已签署长期合同。
An initial payment of $28 million was completed on November 1 with 95% of the payment made in cash, said the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the sale and declined to identified. The founding partners have all signed long-term contracts, the people added.
Reevemark专注于诉讼传播，这是战略传播领域快速增长的一个方向，并在《钱伯斯合伙人2026年诉讼公关与传播及危机公关与传播指南》中位列第一梯队。
Reevemark has specialized in litigation communication, a fast-growing area of strategic communications, and is ranked in Band One in the Chambers and Partners 2026 Litigation PR & Communications and Crisis PR & Communications guides.
该交易将使PPHC约1500名现有客户能够获得Reevemark的专业技能，而Reevemark的客户则可利用PPHC在华盛顿特区、得克萨斯州、加利福尼亚州、伦敦和米兰的网络。
The deal will allow PPHC's roughly 1,500 existing clients to access Reevemark's specialist expertise and Reevemark clients will be able to tap into PPHC's network in Washington DC, Texas, California, London and Milan.
私募股权公司及其他买家将战略传播公司视为拥有稳定现金流和牢固客户关系的高增长业务，推动了该行业的整合。
Private equity firms and other buyers view strategic communications firms as high-growth businesses with steady cash flow and strong client relationships, spurring consolidation in the industry.
例如，Sard Verbinnen于2016年被私募股权公司金门资本（Golden Gate）收购，现隶属于公共关系巨头FGS，后者由私募股权巨头KKR控股。
Sard Verbinnen, for example, was sold to private equity firm Golden Gate in 2016 and is now part of public relations giant FGS, which is majority-owned by private equity giant KKR.
