Merit Capital Partners recently partnered with Six Pillars Partners and active management to merge and recapitalize Red Square Agency, Inc. and Foundry, LLC (collectively “Good Giant” or the “Company”). This transaction represents the fourth platform investment by Fund VII.

Formed via the merger of Red Square, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, and Foundry, formed in 1993 and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Good Giant is a full-service, integrated marketing agency primarily serving the casino industry.
