Hawke Media and Griffin Holdings, LLC Announce New Partnership Geared Toward Helping Struggling Direct-to-Consumer Businesses

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawke Media, the fastest growing marketing consultancy in the nation, and Griffin Holdings, LLC, a privately held investment firm, today announced the launch of Nest Equity Partners, a strategic partnership between the two companies to acquire up-and-coming direct-to-consumer brands that have hit roadblocks while attempting to scale.

There has been a huge shift in the industry, with businesses moving from brick-and-mortar business models to direct-to-consumer ecommerce. But, in this crowded and competitive market, scaling a direct-to-consumer brand is filled with significant hurdles. Often, these businesses find themselves with challenges they are unable to overcome on their own.

With Hawke Media's expertise in marketing and scaling businesses and Griffin Holdings experience investing and growing CPG companies, Nest Equity Partners offers a solution to businesses that find themselves in these situations.

"Combining the talent and expertise at Hawke Media, with the resources and experience of Griffin Holdings, we created Nest Equity Partners to create a soft landing for brands, their founders and their investors," said Erik Huberman, Managing Director of Nest Equity Partners. "That's why this partnership makes so much sense and has me seriously excited. Nest Equity Partners creates an opportunity for companies where, instead of just throwing in the towel and shutting down, they are given another chance at life and success."

"Griffin Holdings management is excited and looking forward to be of support to these growing companies," said a company spokesperson at Griffin Holdings.

Nest Equity Partners is now looking for brands that have reached between $5 and $20 million in revenue generally and are looking for help. Please visit www.nestequitypartners.com for more information and to get in contact.
