Disruptive technological change is impacting all areas of the print media industry; attracting and retaining audiences is becoming increasing challenging, meaning that traditional publishing models are coming under pressure. We help clients to assess the changing industry economics and to harness the new publishing opportunities to drive growth. In particular, as willingness to pay for digital media rises, the online and mobile environments present significant opportunities for growth.

From a service-perspective, mobile- and micro-publishing, online communities and user-generated content services are all areas in which we have worked closely with clients

Recent clients include leading publishers and regulators worldwide.
