Church & Dwight announced today that it will buy IdeaVillage's Finishing Touch and Flawless lines of hair-removal products for nearly $1 billion. (That is not a typo.)
According to MarketWatch:
Under terms of the deal, Church & Dwight will pay $475 million in cash, and an additional 'earn-out' payment of up to $425 million based on 12-month net sales targets. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.

Forget the rankings, I'm announcing it now: IdeaVillage is the TRUE TOP MARKETER of 2019!
MEGA congratulations to Andy Khubani and his team.
