Mergers & Acquisition Advisory

Finding the right match for your business.

About

MAP was founded in 2010 to provide financial advisory services to small and mid-size marketing services, media, events, and related companies. From the beginning, we have been committed to Advisory. We provide in-depth, end-to-end support and services required to meet your specific M&A needs.

Your business and individual goals are unique. You deserve an advisor who cares to prioritize your needs and objectives to complete a transaction, not one who just wants to get a deal done. Our focus is to find the right buyer or assets for your needs. Through a highly personalized approach we balance your unique goals, considerations, and valuation to optimize your outcome, serving as a true advisor, not just running a process.

Whether a sell-side or buy-side engagement, our extensive operating experience and bespoke process will contribute to a successful close.

Testimonials

“I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Media Advisory Partners to represent us in the sale of our company. Their enthusiasm for our business and mission, and commitment to finding the right partner helped us achieve a successful sale. MAP took the time to gain a deep understanding of my business and the passion that went into building it. Selling a conference business amid the COVID-19 pandemic is no small feat, but MAP was able to execute adroitly, driving the sale and at the same time serving as management consultants as we continued to run the business during challenging times. I am truly grateful for their counsel and guidance, and for their ability to maximize the value of my business and get it into the right hands.”
— Beth Falk, Founder & President, Falk Marques Group

“There is a high level of trust when you are working with MAP advisors. They are the most dependable and tenacious partners that keep your organization’s needs at the forefront every step of the way. Their team brings excellence and professionalism with an innate ability to keep all stakeholders’ calm. Working with MAP has been invaluable, and we have learned so much- well beyond the selling process.”
— Dave Palcek, President & CEO, ICD Publications

“MAP’s style is relationship-driven and built on trust. They’re not driven by fees or just getting the deal done. If it doesn’t work for the customer, it doesn’t work.”
— Felix H. Magowan, Executive Manager, Pocket Ventures, LLC
