The New Media M&A Playbook: Consolidation, Capital, and Strategic Partnerships
Consolidation, a shifting capital environment, and an expanding sponsor presence are redefining how media deals get done. This session covers current deal activity across local media, broadcasting, sports, gaming, and digital content; how private equity and strategic buyers evaluate assets differently; what drives value in the first 100 days post-close; and practical lessons learned from recent transactions.
RSM’s industry expert, James Zarour, will lead attendees through the following key discussion points:
• Current media sector deal activity
• Private equity's role in local media, broadcasting, sports, gaming, and digital content
• What strategic buyers are looking for
• What’s important, 100 days post-close
• Lessons learned from recent transactions
We would like to acknowledge and thank our Networking Reception Sponsor.
