News Release: Exit Amplifier Brand Package Helps Unlock Up to 23% More M&A Value
Businesses Exiting in 1–5 Years Can Amplify Buyer Confidence and Strengthen Valuations
CHICAGO & SAN FRANCISCO – September 23, 2025 — Exit Amplifier, a strategic brand package from refresh to complete overhaul, launches today to help founders strengthen brand perception and potentially unlock more business value at exit. Built for operationally strong companies planning to sell in the next 1–5 years, Exit Amplifier transforms underwhelming brands into premium, acquisition-ready assets.
Better Brand = Better Exit Value
Research from the American Marketing Association shows that strategic brand clarity can increase post merger and acquisition (M&A) shareholder value by over 23%, while poor branding can put up to 19% of deal value at risk. Exit Amplifier helps businesses position their brand as an asset, not a liability at the deal table, giving founders leverage to shift perception and boost buyer trust.
“We’ve seen incredible businesses lose out because their brand didn’t reflect their true value,” said Jeanel Carlson, Exit Amplifier co-creator and founder of OakBloom Marketing. “Exit Amplifier builds the credibility buyers look for and helps justify stronger offers.”
