Communications & Integration Planning

Incite works with buyers during the transaction to communicate the deal to all internal and external stakeholders and map out a post-merger integration plan for all communications, brand, culture, and change management needs. You only have one opportunity to announce your acquisition and Incite ensures that your deal narrative is defined and shared across all relevant audiences and that integration is not restricted to processes and technology.
