Excellera Acquires Alma Strategic Communications to Expand Financial Communications Capabilities
Excellera has acquired the UK-based financial communications consultancy Alma Strategic Communications, enhancing its presence in London — a key EMEA capital markets hub. The acquisition supports Excellera's international growth strategy and is backed by ICG plc, an alternative asset manager. Alma brings expertise in investor relations, M&A communication, IPOs, corporate communications, media relations, and crisis management to the group. With this addition, Excellera now has approximately €80 million in annual revenue and around 400 professionals across 15 global offices. The integration of Alma's team with Excellera’s UK operations is expected to offer clients a more comprehensive financial and corporate communications solution. The deal also allows for continued collaboration between the two teams, leveraging their combined strengths in public affairs, data intelligence, and reputation management. Alma partners will retain leadership roles within the business while reinvesting part of their proceeds into Excellera.
