As entertainment and media companies look to new talent, technology, and channels for growth, disruption in the sector is ongoing. M&A facilitates the hunt for one-of-a-kind assets.
Audiences consume entertainment and media in ways that are continually changing. Today’s streaming service is tomorrow’s video rental store. M&A activity helps businesses to keep pace with industry shifts, but it takes a sharp eye for risk to avoid making hasty moves.
Our experience includes companies in post production, digital and print media, music and film distribution, studios, and talent agencies.
We work with buyers and sellers throughout the investment lifecycle. Our engagements are tailored and go beyond just identifying and reporting — we act as a partner, “owning the process” to reveal, analyze, and resolve finance issues for organizations in the entertainment and media sector.
Evaluating the financial details of a deal — from thoughtful and robust financial due diligence to financial modeling and navigation of capital markets — is key to shining light on an opportunity. Our M&A transaction services help with the granular financial details so our clients can close more deals.
The post-close transition of a business is a sensitive and critical period in the investment lifecycle. Our M&A transition services can help ensure continuity and implementation with minimal disruption, especially in the finance department.
Significant change means development but can also introduce risk. Our M&A transformation services help to develop and execute thoughtful strategies that preserve underwritten value while simultaneously de-risking change and creating enterprise value.
