Interluxe Group and North & Warren acquired Quinn, a New York-based luxury communications firm, in a deal announced today with no disclosed purchase price. The transaction adds strategic communications and media relations capacity to a platform that already combines experiential production (Interluxe) and creative strategy (North & Warren) under Mountaingate Capital's ownership since separate acquisitions in 2023 and 2024.
Quinn, founded in 2015, operates client relationships across fashion houses, hospitality groups, and consumer luxury brands. The firm's partner roster includes brands typically requiring orchestrated activation sequences—product launches that span earned media, influencer placement, and physical events within compressed timelines. Interluxe separately maintains a client base weighted toward automotive, spirits, and watch brands requiring fabrication-intensive activations at global tent-pole events. North & Warren, the creative studio acquired by Mountaingate in early 2024, handles campaign concepting and brand positioning for a parallel luxury cohort. The three entities now operate as a unified platform offering concepting, production, and post-event communications without referral handoffs between independent agencies.
The structure matters because luxury marketing budgets increasingly flow toward integrated activation sequences rather than siloed agency mandates. A European automotive brand launching a limited-edition model in three cities no longer briefs a creative agency, an experiential shop, and a PR firm separately—it briefs one entity capable of owning the entire throughline from strategy deck to media pickup. Mountaingate's thesis centers on capturing that consolidated spend by removing inter-agency friction costs. Quinn's addition completes the stack: North & Warren develops the creative territory, Interluxe fabricates and executes the physical or digital experience, Quinn manages the media narrative and influencer amplification before, during, and after activation.
The luxury experiential market reached an estimated $12B in annual spend across North America and Europe in 2024, according to aggregated agency revenue data, with luxury brands allocating roughly 30% of total marketing budgets to experiential versus 18% five years prior. That shift accelerated post-pandemic as brands prioritized owned experiences over traditional advertising—private client events, product unveilings in non-traditional venues, immersive brand installations during art fairs and fashion weeks. Quinn's communications capability allows the platform to capture media value generated by those activations, a secondary revenue stream typically monetized by standalone PR firms. Interluxe CEO noted in the announcement that clients have explicitly requested communications integration to avoid narrative inconsistencies between event execution teams and external PR counsel.
Mountaingate Capital, a Denver-based private equity firm managing approximately $2B in assets, has deployed capital into fragmented service categories where mid-market leaders can consolidate through acquisition and organic integration. The firm's luxury marketing platform represents a vertical buy-and-build strategy: acquire best-in-class independents, integrate operating systems, cross-sell the combined capability set into existing client relationships. Quinn represents the third acquisition in this particular platform build. Mountaingate has not disclosed revenue figures for the combined entity, but luxury experiential agencies at Interluxe's scale typically generate $30M–$60M in annual revenue; adding Quinn's communications book and North & Warren's creative fees likely positions the platform above $75M in aggregate revenue run-rate.
Operators should monitor two follow-on developments. First, whether the platform pursues a fourth acquisition—likely a data analytics or audience intelligence firm—to close the loop on activation measurement, a capability luxury brands now demand but experiential agencies rarely provide in-house. Second, whether competing experiential independents accelerate their own M&A activity or partnership formations in response, particularly agencies operating in the $15M–$40M revenue band where scale limitations prevent full-stack service offerings. Both scenarios likely surface within the next six to nine months as Q1 2026 budgets lock.
Quinn's New York headquarters remains operational under existing leadership, with staff embedded into the broader platform's client service model. The deal closed in early September 2025.
The takeaway
Mountaingate completes luxury marketing stack with Quinn acquisition, consolidating creative-experiential-communications to capture integrated activation budgets now exceeding **$12B** annually.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
