Potential to work Directly with Clients: An acquirer who can bring additional resources available to support with the nurturing and relationship management of clients, would be able to start completely dealing directly with end-clients, which in turn, would increase profits due to agency fees not being required.
Tourism and Experiential Sector Growth: With its track record for producing aesthetically stunning marketing campaigns, the company is well-positioned to diversify its client base into additional high-growth sectors, such as tourism. An acquirer with connections in these sectors would be primed to capitalise on the demand for marketing production services.
Scope to Introduce AI Production: By working with specialist AI production teams, the company can diversify its virtual production offering. This would allow acquirers who lack a virtual or AI production offering to inherit a company with established resources in these spaces, which operate at higher margins.

Acquirers specialising in editing and post-production services have a golden opportunity to integrate its own services with an established end-to-end production
