NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Joe Giovannoli, CEO, and Bryan Pattman, COO, of 9Sail, a leading digital marketing agency specializing in SEO, PPC, and Digital PR for law firms, have jointly acquired a 50% ownership stake in StateWP, a leading WordPress security, support, and maintenance company led by CEO Garrett Goldman and COO Aron Lastriaioli.

Founded in 2023, StateWP’s mission is to provide exceptional support to professional service firms and enterprise organizations nationwide, transforming website maintenance and security into a competitive business advantage. Goldman and Lastriaioli lead a team of forward-thinking, technical experts who prioritize client relationships and a measurable return on investment.

“StateWP has always been a partner we could count on,” said Giovannoli. “Garrett and Aron built a team that sets a high technical standard and delivers on every promise, mirroring how we approach our work at 9Sail. We are excited to grow together and serve clients at an even higher level.”

Pattman adds, “From the start, StateWP has felt like an extension of our own team. We already share a lot of the same values, so this was a natural next step. It gives both companies more pathways to collaborate, share ideas, and strengthen the client experience.”

Giovannoli and Pattman have collaborated with StateWP for several years, building a strong relationship grounded in mutual trust and shared success. The investment represents deep respect for StateWP’s consistent quality, reliability, and innovation, as well as Goldman and Lastriaioli’s leadership and vision for the company’s growth.

This is a personal, strategic investment by Joe Giovannoli and Bryan Pattman, and both agencies will continue to operate independently.
