Media and events is our traditional industry sweet spot: we have successfully advised many global leaders and local champions, covering emerging and mature markets, identifying growth opportunities and creating significant value.
We regularly work with global leaders and regional innovators in the event space. From large, global trade show and conference organisers to owners of individual assets – we share your passion for creating exciting content, marketplaces and networking opportunities to bring B2B or consumer communities together.
Our event consulting practice has given us exposure to many fascinating types of events – from large machinery trade shows, focused professional matchmaking events, content-led conferences and confexes to fan-based events like ComicCons and Gaming shows. We have also worked in a broad array of sectors, including Real Estate, Retail, Oil & Gas, Industrial Machinery, Art, Fashion, Travel and Sports.

Together with our sister company, Ocean Strategy, we have worked with many of the leading publishing groups in the UK, Europe and the US. Besides our frequent involvement in key industry deals, we regularly advise investors and owners of consumer, B2B and professional media assets on strategy and innovation.
