Morrison Foerster has advised digital marketing agency Ignite Visibility on its acquisition of Rallio, a California-based platform specializing in social media, listings, and reputation management.

The deal, backed by private equity firm Mountaingate Capital, marks Ignite Visibility’s third acquisition since the firm partnered with Mountaingate in February 2023.

“This acquisition strengthens Ignite Visibility’s growing portfolio and reflects a clear investment in expanding its technological capabilities,” said Tyler Sewell, corporate partner at Morrison Foerster.

“It’s always rewarding to support clients as they move forward with growth strategies that bring new value to their customers.”

For Ignite Visibility, the addition of Rallio represents a significant step toward building a more robust, tech-driven service offering.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rallio into the Ignite Visibility offering,” said John Lincoln, CEO and co-founder.

“Rallio has built an impressive platform. By bringing Rallio into our ecosystem, we're expanding our technology capabilities and how we can provide value to our clients."

Rallio CEO Chuck Goetschel described the move as a pivotal moment for the company.

Partnering with Ignite creates exciting new opportunities for our clients and team members. We're looking forward to scaling our impact together."
