Venture Capitalists & Private Equity Firms

Technological innovation and shifts in consumer behavior are challenging traditional publishing models and forcing the market to adapt. As a result, there is no shortage of companies looking to pivot or disrupt those models while serving new markets or upending existing ones. For venture capitalists and private equity funders, it can be overwhelming to wade through thousands of ideas and make strategic decisions. Magellan Media Consulting helps funders to:

  • Understand market data and invest ahead of the curve.
  • Improve the alignment and quality of the companies under consideration.
  • Streamline workflows to increase efficiency and responsiveness, particularly as a portfolio company looks to scale.
  • Generate leads and increase conversion.
  • Boost revenue for an eventual exit.
  • Provide due diligence to confirm a target company’s strengths and uncover hidden weaknesses.

Venture capital and private equity firms know that the unusual matters here: they seek original, well-founded advice to help them understand trends and diagnose problems. Magellan Media Consulting provides clarity for funders as they make publishing investments.

Publishers

The supply of content now outpaces demand. To remain relevant, magazine, book and association publishers must distribute high-quality content cost-effectively and strategically across multiple platforms, acquiring and nurturing targeted audiences. The core of what you do—disseminating information to the world—remains the same. Refining how you do it makes the difference. We can help:

  • Improve content workflows and increase your agility across multiple platforms.
  • Leverage content to increase the reader, customer or membership base.
  • Monetize content across multiple platforms, typically by improving the flow of potential customers and improving your ability to convert them to buyers.
  • Increase revenue, including non-dues revenue for association publishers.
  • Manage costs, particularly for publishers looking to reallocate resources to new initiatives.

Magellan Media Consulting improves how you create, manage, and distribute content, your most valuable asset. We offer more than three decades of experience working with digital content, at a time when digital content is the starting point for all other versions. And with Magellan, there’s no learning curve: from the start of an assignment, we are ready to work with you to meet your immediate and longer-term requirements.
