Supreme Group announced its strategic acquisition of Amendola Communications, a recognized leader in providing integrated public relations, marketing, and social media services to healthcare, health tech and life sciences companies. Amendola will continue to operate under its brand name as a standalone organization within Supreme Group, with Jodi Amendola continuing to lead the organization as president.
“During the past two decades, we have considered the acquisitions of our client companies among our many successes, because it means you have built something of value that can be even more powerful as part of something bigger,” said Jodi Amendola. “Joining Supreme Group is a founder’s dream, as we will not only retain Amendola’s autonomy to deliver the same strategic approach and services our clients have come to trust, but we will also level up our offerings by tapping into the wealth of expertise of the other Supreme Group companies, including digital marketing, enhanced lead generation, creative design services, and PhD-level clinical expertise. It is the ideal fit for Amendola clients and our team.”
Amendola is the fifth agency to join Supreme’s growing strategic platform dedicated to providing best-in-class marketing and communications services to a broad range of healthcare and life sciences companies. Supreme Group was formed following Trinity Hunt’s majority investment in the digital agency Supreme Optimization in March 2023.
Amendola was founded more than two decades ago by Jodi and Ted Amendola to help promote emerging digital health technologies with a very clearly defined purpose: To improve healthcare for all stakeholders. Over the years, the company has expanded to include healthcare and life sciences more broadly, while continuing to grow as a leading health tech agency. From Fortune 500 companies to startups, Amendola has consistently taken companies from virtual unknowns to household names, and its programs have contributed to successful funding efforts, profitable acquisitions and IPOs. Its senior level “A-team” helps to set the agency apart. The company’s 25 employees serve approximately 50 clients.
“When we learned about Amendola and its strong reputation and footprint, particularly in health tech, we knew the agency would fit in perfectly with the Supreme Group family of companies,” said Tom Donnelly, CEO, Supreme Group. “We’re impressed by Amendola’s entrepreneurial, results-driven focus, and excited to help take the team to the next level with the combined strength of our experienced Supreme Group executive team and the platform’s sister agencies.”
Mike Steindorf, partner at Trinity Hunt, said, “Trinity Hunt is a growth-oriented private equity firm that builds world-class companies within healthcare. With Tom’s leadership as CEO and the supercharged platform of Supreme Optimization, Clarity Quest, BioStrata, Health+Commerce, and now Amendola, we are building something powerful in the life sciences and healthcare marketing and communications services business. We look forward to supporting and growing these companies and adding additional complementary businesses to the platform.”
California Counsel Group and Gabriel & Ashworth served as advisors to Amendola.
