Digital Media
Digital convergence is now. Deals are about data, infrastructure or content production, management or ownership. Data is no longer merely transported but is manipulated. Although TV is still the go-to device for viewing, the rapid decline in standard ‘live’ TV watching practices and a growth in bespoke online provision across multiple devices, especially amongst the younger audiences. The investors and buyers of market participants are always looking for firms which disrupt and facilitate the integration of data and its sources with content.
Digital Media and Internet businesses include technology-driven companies with both subscription and transaction-based business models across all on-line subsectors, including gaming, marketing, customer research, content and communications.
Polestar works both with businesses at the cutting edge in areas such as content generation gaming etc., as well as those transitioning from traditional models with manual processes to a digital presence using automated processes, advising on planning, fundraising or exit strategies.
