In this issue of JEGI’s Client Briefing Newsletter, JEGI provides key insights from a select group of senior executives from leading emerging online media and information companies, including their perspectives on key developments they foresee and how they plan to respond.  JEGI’s M&A statistics show that the M&A market for media and information companies in the most recent quarter was clouded by credit market disruption and concerns for a potential advertising, and broader economic, slowdown. Still, media M&A scaled to record highs in the first three quarters of the year.  Anthea Stratigos, CEO, Outsell shares her views on the information industry, which is predicted to reach $448 billion in revenues by 2010, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2007.  Digital media has the potential to dramatically transform and enhance the tradeshow industry.  According to the results of a groundbreaking survey conducted by SISO, JEGI, and Tradeshow Week, a majority of tradeshows are connected to their communities via the web.  JEGI extends congratulations to dmg world media’s Ad:Tech web site for being honored as Best Overall at the first annual Tradeshow Industry Web Site Awards.  Lastly, JEGI highlights its exceptional transaction experience across its core sectors, including the recent investment in Gorilla Nation Media by Great Hill Partners.
