Avenue Z Network acquires Miami PR firm Bevel

Avenue Z Network, a Miami-based communications and digital media company, has acquired Bevel, a Miami-based communications consultancy focusing on tech and venture capital clients.

Founded in 2017, Bevel advises private and public companies on digital and traditional media relations, reputation management, crisis communications, content creation, events, media training, and design.

The firm has worked with clients including Better.com, Clocktower Technology Ventures, Public.com, and Sundance film festival.

Bevel has 13 employees, according to its website, and offices in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Avenue Z’s acquisition of Bevel is its second deal since its founding earlier this year.

Jeffrey Herzog – who sold his previous company iCrossing to Hearst Media for $450 million in 2010 – in May launched Avenue Z with additional funding from Baleon Capital.

The network in June bolted on The Snow Agency, a Miami-based social media and influencer marketing company with approximately 60 employees.

“I’m excited to work with Jeff Herzog to build the first digital communications unicorn,” said Jessica Schaefer, founder and CEO of Bevel. “Our clients are demanding influencer relations, SEO, content marketing, video and social media services – 360° campaigns that drive influence and impact. The capital, experience, and team that Jeff brings building global firms will make our growth unstoppable.”

Avenue Z currently has offices in Miami, Orlando, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and London. The company focuses on services in PR and media relations, SEO and content marketing, design and development, social media, and paid media.

The firm says it is actively expanding and plans to acquire companies in digital marketing, branding, analytics, and technology.

“In today’s fragmented digital ecosystem, building a category-leading brand requires integrated messages across platforms. By leveraging influential storytelling, digital media and data, we’ll drive brand visibility, build stakeholder engagement, and provide clients with measured ROI,” said Herzog.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
