Media & Communications
Emerging Mediums & Merging Medias
This tongue twister of a headline is indicative of the Media & Communications industry at large; it’s difficult to decipher and might make your head spin. The evolving digital landscape continues to captivate consumers and intrigue investors. Trends are taking over: cable cords are being cut, streaming wars are being fought, and – for the first time – digital advertising is outspending traditional.
From a private equity standpoint, these transformational trends (along with the dichotomy between old and new mediums) have created an environment that’s ripe for acquisitions. Consolidations are commonplace – and so, too, are the complexities that come with them. Whether bolting on or carving out, media businesses are often faced with understaffed F&A teams and a lack of integration management experience. This is where we come in.
