OUR PRACTICES

CUE BALL’s principals specialize in international print and digital media (both B2C and B2B) as well as their convergence with:

• Television and radio programming
• Social media
• Book publishing
• Film production and distribution
• E-commerce
• Non-media brand extensions (e.g., hospitality, real estate, consumer products)
• Events

We provide the full range of business development services from market research and strategic planning to deal brokerage, fundraising and project management. We work closely with our clients on a variety of assignments. Depending upon the need, we endeavour to answer such questions as: Does the client have the products and resources to consider international business? If so, where and in what format? Which international companies should a client consider as partners? What role will international business play in a client’s plan to sell its business or to go public? And, how should a client extend its magazine brand, knowhow and customer base into other media and other businesses? Deal brokerage is the principle activity of our practice:

• Licenses
• Joint ventures
• Strategic partnerships
• Mergers
• Acquisitions
• Divestitures
• Fundraising
• Launches

CUE BALL and our Associates have extensive experience in all deal structures in local markets throughout the world. Post-deal (and working closely with our clients and partners), CUE BALL helps develop and interpret the client’s products in the appropriate manner for the market and/or medium. With intimate understanding of our client’s products, goals and corporate culture as well as the idiosyncrasies of partners and their business environments, CUE BALL is uniquely qualified to manage the product development process.
