Secondary Adviser to Deal -- Resume Advice

The summer after my freshman year, I was at a small activism defense shop. We were the secondary advisers to a company, leading to a successful activism defense. I did a lot of work on this deal, especially given the small size of the shop. I just found out that a top BB (GS/MS/JPM) was the primary adviser to this same company.

Should I mention on my resume the name of this BB? If so, only for that bank or keep it on my resume for all the banks? I'm a junior now, so I'm applying to the banks this recruiting cycle.

If anything, I want to draw attention to this because I did it freshman summer and not sophomore summer, so it's not at the tippy top of my work experience. I don't want it to be overlooked.

Thanks, monkeys!
