VI. DEALS OUTLOOK

Optimistic Outlook for Deals

29

Strategic Transactions and Strong Buyer Interest to Drive Deal Activity

Source: Mtech Advisors

Technology Companies to Stay in Demand

As technology players continue to challenge conventional operating models, larger companies will snap up emerging innovative players in the Digital Media and Internet space

The trend in acquisitions at high multiples is expected to continue

Marketing Automation & SaaS Attractive

The prevalence of marketing automation is accelerating. Increasing focus by digital marketers and local companies on automating certain aspects of their workflow is expected to be one of the major drivers for M&A

Cloud computing continues to be a bright spot, with software as a service (SaaS) companies specifically being a hot target for high-multiple deals

Consolidation among Marketing Agencies

There has been a substantial increase in interactive/digital marketing agencies in the past five years

Such businesses will continue to experience consolidation, similar to the “dot com” experience a decade ago

Industry-Focused and Content Marketing Companies to Garner Interest

Companies with an industry-specific focus (healthcare, insurance, retail, communications and financial services among others) will attract much strategic investor interest

Given the increased focus by enterprises on content marketing, an opportunity exists for vendors with proven track records and quantifiable ROI across multiple channels such as search, display/web, social, mobile, e-mail, video

Buzzing Primary Market Activity

Capital market activity is expected to be vibrant as fresh companies pique investor interest

The IPO pipeline is strong with over $2 bn in announced IPOs YTD, including the much anticipated Twitter IPO
