Advisory
In a business where tools are automating and methods are becoming commoditized, what endures is human perspective. We forge it by operating, alongside those we support. This experience also feeds into our work.
You are...
- Media groups and editorial brands in transformation
- Content creators at the scale-up stage
- Founders and creators building a media or cultural project
- Investment funds looking to assess content or IP assets
- Brands looking to invest in the editorial and cultural space
- Cultural institutions seeking new distribution channels
Two missions at the heart of our practice
We step in where financial analysis stops: the value of content, a format, a creative team or a catalogue cannot be read in a balance sheet.
For funds and acquirers investing in content. A balance sheet measures assets; it says nothing about their editorial value. We assess what truly sets the price of a catalogue or a slate: the strength of the IP, reliance on talent, the upside in the rights, the solidity of broadcaster relationships, the ability to last and to scale. The judgment of those who operate, not the checklist of those who audit.
-
For whom
- Funds investing in a production company or an IP catalogue.
- Acquirers evaluating a content brand or business.
- Executives preparing a sale, a raise or a strategic tie-up.
Once the asset is acquired, the assessment becomes a roadmap. What the due diligence brought to light — strengths to consolidate, blind spots to correct, value still dormant — draws the plan. We support editorial structuring, the exploitation and extension of rights, the development of new formats, the scaling of the catalogue. From within the business, alongside the teams, until that potential turns into growth. Diagnose, then build.
-
For whom
- Funds driving the value of a holding after investment.
- Production companies and catalogues in a structuring phase.
- Media brands structuring a multi-platform strategy, video and audio alike
