617 Collective, an acquisition firm focused on marketing and creator-economy agencies, has appointed Victor Martinez as Partner and Head of Capital Markets. Martinez will oversee financing strategies and lender relations to support the firm's growth.
The move arrives as the company pursues an aggressive expansion plan, targeting up to $100 million in acquisitions this year. Martinez brings two decades of banking experience from Citi and JPMorgan to the leadership team.
His role involves managing institutional relationships to fund the firm's portfolio. 617 Collective aims to maintain its pace of consolidation within the fragmented media and agency landscape.
The agency sector is currently undergoing a wave of consolidation as firms look to scale through specialized acquisitions. By moving away from traditional private equity models, groups like 617 Collective are attempting to keep founder leadership intact while centralizing back-office infrastructure.
This trend reflects a broader shift in the creator economy, where boutique agencies need access to institutional capital and shared resources to stay competitive. Investors are increasingly betting on these platforms to capture value in a market that remains highly decentralized.
