LEHI, Utah — Amplēo, a leader in fractional finance, marketing, and HR services, has acquired Avalaunch Media, a nationally recognized marketing agency best known for SEO, traditional & paid media, content, and brand storytelling. Avalaunch brings a unique fractional CMO–led model, making this acquisition a major step in Amplēo’s mission to deliver full-stack, embedded marketing teams to companies across the country.

This expansion builds on Amplēo’s growing marketing division, launched in 2023, and follows its acquisition of Stage Marketing late last year. It also marks the company’s first acquisition since securing private equity funding in June 2025.

“Smaller companies often lack the marketing talent they need to scale successfully,” said Joe Grover, Chief Growth Officer at Amplēo. “More than 80% of small businesses fail—and we believe that’s simply unacceptable. Our mission is to ensure that every company, regardless of size, can access the expertise and execution needed to survive and grow. We’re obsessed with supporting entrepreneurs, founders, and operators as a true extension of their teams.”

Avalaunch Media has spent 20+ years building an award-winning, fractional agency that has served thousands of B2B, B2C, and DTC clients nationwide. In the past two years, Avalaunch expanded its leadership bench with seasoned CMOs, further strengthening results for clients. Its model—pairing strategic leadership with executional depth—mirrors Amplēo’s own evolution and creates a powerful alignment. This fractional-led, agency-backed marketing solution is precisely what small and medium-sized businesses need.

“There couldn’t be a stronger combination,” said David Mink, Avalaunch’s co-founder and CEO. “Avalaunch’s roots are in execution, enhanced by fractional CMO leadership. Amplēo started with fractional CMO expertise and expanded into services. Bringing AmplēoMarketing, Stage Marketing, and Avalaunch Media together creates a first-of-its-kind platform to help small and scaling companies thrive.”

As part of the acquisition, David Mink will continue leading Avalaunch Media and will assume the role of President of Amplēo Marketing.

“We’re grateful for the continued leadership of Avalaunch’s founders as we expand our marketing division,” said Lincoln Howell, CEO of Amplēo. “Amplēo products are really people, and Avalaunch’s team is a perfect cultural and strategic fit. Together, we’ll deliver the caliber of service and outcomes our clients have come to expect across all of our business units.”

Amplēo’s embedded model has long been recognized for integrating fractional leaders directly into client teams across finance, HR, marketing, and other critical functions. With Avalaunch, Amplēoreinforces its brand promise: to remove barriers between growing companies and the expertise and execution they need to scale smarter, faster, and with the confidence that comes with experience.
