Beachfront said GCP and PSP will provide the company will resources to expand its capabilities for its multi-platform advertising business.
In tandem with the deal, Beachfront also announced Bill Jennings as CEO and Rich O’Connor as CFO. They previously served in the same roles at PageScience, an ad targeting company acquired by Accent Health in 2016.
Beachfront Media co-founder Frank Sinton will remain president, and he and co-founder, Lisa Connell, will also retain stakes in the company.
“The future of content consumption is increasingly mobile, social and arrayed across a diverse set of screens of all shapes and sizes,” Penny Pritzker, PSP’s founder and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, said in a statement. “Beachfront’s platform-agnostic business model and world class management team will play a pivotal role in the dynamic and fast-changing media industry landscape for years to come.”
