Intrepid today announced that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Barrington Media Group (BMG) on receiving a significant investment from Fort Point Capital. Based in Shelton, Conn., BMG is a tech-enabled marketing agency that provides services to enterprises across a broad spectrum of end-markets, including insurance, consumer finance, consumer products, and medical products, among others. With an intense focus on data analytics and vertically integrated capabilities that include large-scale media buying and highly effective in-house creative, BMG delivers compelling ROI to its clients through campaigns placed across traditional television, audio, and direct mail media channels.

By leveraging its proprietary database and in-house analytics team, the company has established a strong track record of delivering an unparalleled return on marketing spend for their clients, allowing BMG to win larger clients and capture increased marketing budgets consistently. We believe the alignment with Fort Point Capital will allow the company to accelerate its growth through continued investments in people and technology,” said Brandon Quartararo, Managing Director and Head of the Digital Media practice at Intrepid. “Congratulations to the teams at Barrington and Fort Point for the beginning of what is sure to be an exciting partnership.”
