BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS
Media M&A ‘Moribund’ in 2009, But Hopeful JEGI detects signs of stabilization and confidence returning however, as activity in recent weeks seems to be picking up. The investment bank cites strategic buyers looking to move from defensive positions earlier this year to growth postures that acquire new business models. The multi-platform “consumer connection” model appears to be replacing the “publishing” model, the company says. Part of this shift towards touching audiences anywhere, anytime also entails media companies developing a wider range of client services, including marketing, metrics and analytics. Among the areas that did experience M&A growth, the education information technology and training segment gained confidence (26.3% increase in deals and 18% increase in deal value) from a government stimulus package that emphasized training. Also strong is the mobile media and technology segment, which saw a 45.5% jump in the number of deals and a 38.4% increase in overall deal value. JEGI remains optimistic that signs of a turnaround in media M&A are here already and that the second half of 2009 will see increased activity.
