2009 Mid-Year Digital Media M&A Report

Peachtree Media Advisors, Inc. has released a mid-year digital media M&A transactions report.  Although the first half of the 2009 saw a significant drop-off in capital raised and transactions versus the same period last year, there are a few bright spots in the digital media sector.   We must keep in mind that interactive media deal-making did not fall off the proverbial cliff last year until Google missed their numbers in July 2008 and the infamous Sequoia presentation.  At that point, digital media VCs and companies felt susceptible to the effects of the economic downturn. On a relative basis, we expect the extreme opposite case for deal making in the 3rd and 4th Quarters of 2009 versus 2008 because of the heavy drop-off in the latter part of 2008.
