KPMG Experts Weigh in on the Media and Entertainment M&A Landscape | MFM's Office Hours

As the media and entertainment industry faces unknowns and challenges over the next many months punctuated by continued economic uncertainty and the upcoming election, there's a parallel undercurrent of anticipation and excitement around mergers and acquisitions within the category, particularly in the global markets. Large-scale ($1B+) M&A transactions have definitively dropped from a consistent average of around 40 per year over the last 5 years to just 11 in 2023, but plenty of deals are still being done -- and the expectation is that factors such as interest rates dropping and the dissipation of election uncertainty, large-scale transactions will being ramping up again.
Three experts from KPMG presented to a packed session room at the 2024 MFM Annual Conference, and Emily Lindner, CEO of TruNorth Consulting caught up with them afterwards. In this summary of their breakout session, their discussion includes ways in which internal deal teams can most successfully work together to seamlessly keep transactions moving forward, and how advisory firms such as KPMG leverage their experience to make the process simpler and less time-consuming for clients.
