Unlocking value for businesses with private equity-backing.

Flipside Group helps private equity firms scale portfolio companies through data-driven marketing, sales acceleration, and repeatable growth strategies.

CEOs of private equity-backed companies often excel in operational performance but may lack specialised expertise in marketing, digital strategy, marketing technology and data-driven decision-making.

To achieve profitable scale, companies require systematic growth strategies that drive revenue and long-term valuations. At Flipside Group, we collaborate with Investment Directors, Investment Managers and Operating Partners to:

  • Unlock new revenue streams - implement strategic marketing and sales initiatives to drive revenue growth.
  • Establish repeatable growth systems - create frameworks that yield predictable, sustainable results.
  • Leverage data and technology - optimise marketing performance and operational efficiency through advanced analytics and technology.
  • Enhance leadership and execution - strengthen capabilities with the right talent, processes, and technologies.

Pursuing growth.

 
Maximise value across the portfolio with a scalable, data-driven marketing and sales system.

 

While many private equity firms prioritise operational efficiencies and financial restructuring as primary levers for value creation, they often overlook the significant impact a structured marketing and sales strategy can have on the growth of portfolio companies.

In today's competitive environment, a repeatable and data-driven growth system is essential for driving sustainable revenue, optimising market positioning, and maximising long-term valuations.;

Our approach to 

scaling portfolio companies

Most companies start their engagement with a diagnostic project.

Flipside Growth Diagnostic  process provides a comprehensive analysis and a tailored plan to accelerate and systemise growth within portfolio companies. This 15-25 page report clearly outlines existing gaps and actionable next steps, ensuring that Board members, CEOs, and executives, regardless of their marketing expertise, gain essential insights, and a clear investment plan to take forward.

Whether serving B2B or B2C markets, portfolio companies must develop tailored marketing and sales strategies that align with their unique customer acquisition and retention models. B2B firms often require long sales cycles, relationship-driven approaches, and account-based marketing strategies, while B2C companies typically benefit from data-driven performance marketing, digital engagement, and brand differentiation at scale.

Marketing Hub - Journey Report
Scaling a private equity-backed business requires a structured growth system that minimises friction, aligns teams, and delivers predictable, measurable results. Accelerate revenue, enhance market positioning and drive higher valuations. 

If there is a lack of clear, data-driven marketing strategy aligned with broader growth objectives, addressing this gap should be a top priority. It can be the pivotal factor in unlocking value and avoiding stagnation.
