Investing in the digital future

In the last five years alone, we have made more than 20 investments globally and currently hold a portfolio worth over €600m.

Media is a wide-ranging sector and most of our investment opportunities fall into four key areas:

• Broadcasting and entertainment, businesses engaged directly in or servicing the broadcast industry (radio, TV or mobile) possessing unique distribution and companies engaged in the creation or supply of consumer entertainment;
• Publishing and information, all publishing ranging from B2C newspapers and niche magazines to B2B, including information and database businesses;
• Marketing services, including market research, advertising and services to other media segments; and
• Digital media, covering online, mobile and other digital media. As a partner, we focus on three priorities: agreeing shared goals, contributing to the key decisions you face, and adding lasting value to your business.

Whether you want to enter new markets, develop innovative new products or make acquisitions, we can help. When you partner with us, you can:

• Sucess investment professionals in 14 countries, each with in-depth knowledge of local business and local media markets;
• Work with leading industrialists. We will introduce you to highly-capable and experienced entrepreneurs who advise (and often join) the businesses we partner; and
• Access the world’s biggest companies. We have close relationships at all levels with many leading multi-nationals who take a keen interest in the innovative businesses we work with.

Our partnership approach is individual and personal. It starts during the due diligence process, as we prepare to invest, and continues through our equity participation right up to the eventual exit. At every stage we aim to help you create a healthy, successful business with
