NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Beekman Group (“Beekman”) announced that an affiliate of Beekman Investment Partners II, LP (“Beekman”) completed the sale of Mesmerize Media, LLC (“Mesmerize”), a leading point of care media platform that delivers valuable patient education and consumer engagement across its expansive network of high-impact healthcare channels, to MJH Life Sciences®.
Beekman invested in Mesmerize, originally named Brite Media, in 2014. At the time, Brite Media was an alternative out of home advertising business marketing through coffee sleeves and cash jackets. During Beekman’s ownership, the Company transformed its business through acquisitions and organic growth to become a leading digital marketing platform in healthcare media. Brite Media’s acquisition of Mesmerize Marketing in 2018, brought a new leadership team and a rapidly growing point of care media business. The Company was renamed Mesmerize Media to reflect the focus on healthcare and pharmaceutical end markets. In recent years, Mesmerize has accelerated growth through further acquisitions and the de novo development of a digital point of care network.
Andrew Brown, Managing Director of The Beekman Group said, “We are pleased to have partnered with the Mesmerize management team in this successful transformation. Mesmerize has grown into one of the leading healthcare marketing platforms and is well positioned to continue to grow wallet share and capture new business through an array of strategic growth initiatives. We are excited for Mesmerize’s next phase of expansion and wish the team the best as they continue to expand their suite of services.”
Gregory Leibert, CEO of Mesmerize, said “We would like to thank The Beekman Group for their partnership, support, and strategic direction. Mesmerize has grown as a leader in the point of care advertising sector and is poised to accelerate revenue and network growth with our new strategic partner.”
