When technology and innovation play a pivotal role in customer engagement.

Alberto Knapp, CEO and Founder of The Cocktail commented: “Technology and Innovation are continuing to play a pivotal role in the way our clients think about customer engagement, and with a global partner like Wunderman we believe that the combination of Technology, Innovation and Data create a compelling proposition for brands looking to effectively engage consumers in the digital world. GP Bullhound’s deep sector expertise and global network proved vital in finding the right partner for The Cocktail. We are very excited about joining forces with Wunderman, which will benefit all our current clients while creating significant opportunities to build an even stronger position in Spain and Latin America.”

Per Roman, Managing Partner at GP Bullhound, and Claudio Alvarez, Director at GP Bullhound, commented: “We are thrilled to have advised Alberto Knapp Bjerén and the rest of The Cocktail team as the company enters its next growth phase. The Cocktail’s partnership with Wunderman will allow it to cement its position as the leading Digital Transformation consultancy in Spain and continue to grow its geographical footprint in Latin America.”

This represents our first transaction in Spain and the completion of GP Bullhound’s tenth transaction in 2017, and further underlines the firm’s expertise in advising digital agency category leaders, following on from previous transactions completed for clients such as Sequence (sold to Salesforce), Karmarama (sold to Accenture), Potato (sold to AKQA), The Bio Agency (sold to Tech Mahindra), Essence (sold to WPP), Designit (sold to Wipro) and Fjord (sold to Accenture).
