Highlights from JEGI’s 2014 Media & Technology Conference, including excerpts from 24/7 Media, Hearst, eMarketer and more.

In this issue of JEGI’s Client Briefing Newsletter, JEGI provides key insights from its 10th annual Media & Technology Conference, which was held January 16th at the Time Warner Center in NYC. JEGI’s 2014 conference was focused on “Technology Transforming the Media & Marketing Landscape” and brought together some 300 c-level industry executives and senior private equity and venture capital investors for a half-day of engaging content and high-level networking. Our event featured a large cast of notable speakers, including several of my colleagues on JEGI’s Leadership Team, who provided key insights on technology’s transformation of the media, marketing, information and healthcare sectors. The day was highlighted by the event’s keynote speakers (both focused on transforming and repositioning their companies for growth): David Moore, Chairman & CEO, 24/7 Media (which has merged with and rebranded as Xaxis, its sister company), who was joined for a fireside chat, by John Rose, Senior Partner & Managing Director, The Boston Consulting Group; and Steven Swartz, President & CEO, Hearst Corporation, who closed the conference with an insider’s view into Hearst’s growth strategy.  You’ll find a summary of the keynotes in our Client Briefing newsletter, along with a summary of the other conference content. Also, we were pleased to be ranked the #1 advisor by Bloomberg for the 8th consecutive year for number of M&A transactions completed in our core markets.
