GlynnDevins

GlynnDevins functions as a full-service agency combining brand strategy, media planning and buying, digital marketing, creative production, and direct-response advertising. Every service line is built specifically for the senior-living sales funnel, which typically spans a 12-to-24-month decision cycle involving both the prospective resident and their adult children. The agency handles national television, print, paid search, and social campaigns for multi-site operators managing thousands of independent-living, assisted-living, and skilled-nursing units.

Cappello Group acquired GlynnDevins in October 2023. The transaction was structured to keep the GlynnDevins brand, Kansas City headquarters, and legacy management team intact rather than folding the agency into a larger network. Cappello Group provides growth capital and operational resources while GlynnDevins continues to operate with its specialist focus unchanged (per Senior Housing News, October 2023).

The agency's client roster has included some of the largest not-for-profit and for-profit senior-living operators in the United States. Publicly confirmed clients include Erickson Living, which manages continuing-care retirement communities across multiple states, and Lifespace Communities, a Midwest-rooted operator with campuses in competitive metropolitan markets. GlynnDevins typically serves operators in the top-50 by unit count.

GlynnDevins does not maintain consumer-packaged-goods, automotive, or retail accounts — every creative brief, media plan, and conversion metric is calibrated to the 75-plus demographic and their adult children. The agency holds proprietary data on lead-to-move-in timelines, seasonal inquiry patterns specific to senior living, and channel effectiveness for this cohort that generalist agencies do not accumulate because they treat the vertical as an occasional client rather than a sole focus.

No. GlynnDevins is a marketing and advertising agency serving the senior-living industry. It is not a family office, investment firm, or capital allocator. Its role in the Altss ecosystem is as a specialist service provider to operators whose communities represent significant real-asset portfolios, making the agency relevant to investors analyzing the senior-housing operating landscape.
