History
[edit]The company started in 1983 as a student business at Franklin & Marshall College, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by Steve Zuckerman, Ian Ruzow and Bob Zuckerman.
In November 2015, Clipp was purchased for an undisclosed amount by Valassis Communications, a Michigan-based direct-mail company. Valassis acquired Clipp in an effort to accelerate its expansion into local business markets.[2] [3]
In April 2022, Clipp was acquired by AmatoMartin, a privately held investment company that also owns Valpak.[4]
