The Media Acquisition Report is designed to inform and support those involved in the buying or selling of a B2B Information, Media, and Events business.
It provides Trade and Private Equity (PE) buyers with a benchmark for their own strategies and helps them gain a competitive edge. For sellers, it offers guidance on how to prepare for a successful sale and maximise the value of their business.
The Media Acquisition Report delivers the latest trends and overall outlook in M&A across Information, Media, and Events.
The influence of PE and PE-backed buyers has been felt through the rise in deal volumes this year.
In addition, effectively preparing for sale is becoming increasingly important as buyers look to complete more due diligence in the deal process, with this a legacy of the unsettled economic and geopolitical environment in recent years.
While there is stability in overall valuations in 2024, the underlying factors driving valuations have evolved again this year and led to a variance in valuations between business models.
The report now also explores buyer views on the opportunities and impact of AI for Information, Media, and Events businesses.
