Technological advances are causing significant change. Convergence is reshaping the corporate landscape and the traditional distribution channels of print, radio and TV are losing their share of the audience. The digital age is well and truly upon us; the online world is no longer virtual it is very real and it is here to stay. Combine this with the spending power, large populations and fast growing markets of India and China and you have a recipe that points to considerable change over the coming years.

With such rapid change comes great investment opportunities; industries are consolidating; large media groups are on the acquisition trail and private equity has identified media as a sector that can deliver stellar returns. Standing still is therefore not an option. Acquisitions, divestments, fundraising and the capital markets can provide an accelerated route to maximising shareholder value.

At Baker Tilly our media heritage, expertise and deal advice has allowed us to help more and more media companies deliver growth and returns. The following pages showcase just a handful of our recent media deals. See what our media clients have to say about our talented people and how we added value in each of their transactions. Whether it was a trade sale, acquisition, IPO or private equity fundraising they all have one thing in common.

Deals were delivered and they were delivered well. We hope that this brief review will help demonstrate the efforts of our media specialist deal doers in providing excellent advice to shareholders, management teams and financial institutions.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make these transactions so memorable. Here's to doing more and continuing to work together over the coming months and years in what will undoubtedly be a fast moving and ever changing industry.
