Be Heard Partnership

What Be Heard Partnership does

Be Heard Partnership was a London-based, publicly listed holding company (LSE: BHRD, now delisted) founded in 2014 that pursued a roll-up strategy to build a network of digital companies across marketing services, technology, and e-commerce. Between November 2015 and November 2017 the group executed at least six acquisitions, adding Agenda21 Digital, MMT Digital, MSQ DX, Kameleon, Freemavens, and The Corner to its portfolio, with disclosed deal values of approximately $2.1 million for Freemavens and $15.8 million for The Corner. Headcount was reported in the 251-500 range, consistent with a multi-agency group of that scale.

The business model relied on inorganic growth: acquiring and operating specialized digital agencies under a single corporate umbrella to offer clients integrated marketing, technology, and commerce services. The group raised capital via its London Stock Exchange listing to fund the acquisition program, but no product, pricing, customer, or revenue data is available in the current source material, and the underlying subsidiaries' individual GTM motions are not documented.

As of the available evidence, Be Heard Partnership is no longer operational. The corporate domain beheardpartnership.com has expired and is listed for sale at $195 on GoDaddy via ExpiredDomains.com, and the company has been delisted from the LSE. The Wayback Machine first indexed the domain in 2019 and captured only 192 pages across 29 crawls, indicating minimal residual web presence. No current operating status, management, financials, or active subsidiaries can be confirmed from the inputs.
