CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Babson Capital Management, a leading global asset management firm with over $218 billion in assets under management, today announced it provided subordinated debt and made an equity co-investment to support Falfurrias Capital Partners' investment in GlynnDevins, the leading provider of marketing services to senior living and care communities across the United States.
Founded in 1987, the Overland Park, Kansas, advertising and marketing agency provides a full range of marketing services, including market research, brand development, creative services, and media planning and buying. The firm currently works with more than 160 senior-living communities across 38 states, the majority of which have been agency clients for more than five years.

Oken, the former Bank of America CFO who co-founded Falfurrias Capital Partners with former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl Jr. "We are excited to combine our expertise with GlynnDevins' market leadership to leverage this opportunity, and we appreciate Babson's role in helping make this partnership possible."
"Babson has previously invested in several Falfurrias Capital funds, but this is our first direct investment in one of their transactions," said Bob Shettle, Managing Director and Head of Babson's U.S. Mezzanine & Private Equity Group. "Their methodical approach to selecting investment opportunities, coupled with their track record of operational excellence gives us confidence that this will be a successful venture."
