Retained Advice  On an annual retainer, we are available to provide unbiased advice and analyze new opportunities under consideration by your company.  We help you to diminish your liability, identify problems in currently funded operations that will add additional short-term and long-term costs, and identify opportunities to increase customer satisfaction, improve revenues, consolidate operations and create management efficiencies.  International Media Advisors has the expertise to recognize technologies and products that will make the grade in today’s environment.

Due Diligence  We provide due diligence and models on cable, telecom, satellite and media purchases.  IMA principals have over twenty years of experience each in domestic and international acquisitions and we know the questions to ask.  As senior executives in the sector, we have immediate credibility with both corporate and field management and we will often have a personal relationship that gets us the pertinent information required.  Technical consultants, management consultants and financial consultants will claim that they can provide this service, but will almost always seek engineering, management/customer operations, marketing or financial experts to support them.  Their education costs you in man-hours and the finished product is inconsistent. International Media Advisors provides a comprehensive unified solution.

Project Specific Advice  When you need advice on specific projects, we are your best resource.  We have experience educating investment groups on sector history, parameters, players and prospects for vendors and service providers. We also provide analysis of the value of investments and holdings, operational efficiency recommendations, new business support, marketing and sales.  Whatever your need, we will develop a customized solution.

Pre-Investment / Post-Investment Analysis  International Media Advisors does not tell you what to fund.  We can, however, analyze the products, the environment, and the competition to suggest a company’s likely potential market share and the probable success of a company that provides products and services to the cable television, telecom, satellite and media sector.  We will also provide advice on the terms and conditions of an investment.  Where you have made an investment, we can help you to determine if it is performing to its optimum level and succeeding in its sector.   When requested, we can provide you with hands-on assistance or provide you with experts to assist you in turning around under-performing investments.  

Product and Service Review  International Media Advisors can assist with the oversight and introduction of new products and services, including projected financial results, timelines, hands-on management of the process and analysis of results.

Best marketing practices  International Media Advisors has been involved with market research, packaging and pricing, advertising/promotion, service introduction and results analysis.  We understand advanced marketing techniques, customer support and database management and, most importantly, campaign evaluation, pre- and post-implementation, to ensure a positive return on investment.  We can assist with analysis of a company’s marketing effort or, upon request, implementation of marketing programs and campaigns.  

Transition Management  When a new investment requires either corporate or senior field oversight or C-level, short-term assistance, we can help with interim management and the search for a new executive. We also can provide support on a contract basis when additional expertise is needed with a launch or in an expansion into a new sector.

Field efficiencies and opportunities  In decentralized companies, diplomacy is important in the relationship between corporate and the field.  By being well versed in today’s best practices, we can spend time in a corporate department, divisional/regional office or large system to advise senior management on efficiencies and unexplored opportunities.  Some areas where we provide operational analysis and assistance and help you to lower your costs are: overall organizational structure, manpower organization and allocation, examination of repetitive costs, policies and procedures review, field management assessment, billing and back office.

Capital Assessment  International Media Advisors can analyze your true needs for capital expenditures, equipment and labor, while also providing you with advanced models for considering your options.  We have reviewed best practice bartering and, through our extensive vendor relationships and presentations, we can review the equipment that you have selected and help you to decide if it is optimum for the application.
