The UK-based word of mouth agency, 1000heads Group, has received an investment from Phoenix Equity Partners.

The mid-market private equity firm will support 1000heads – which provides social media-led data and insights, and strategic consultancy to businesses – to accelerate its expansion plans, as the firm targets international growth.

1000heads was founded in 2000 in the UK, and has since opened offices in New York, Sydney, Dubai, and Berlin.
