Portfolio Companies

In traditional businesses such as media, advertising and entertainment, it is especially challenging for early stage companies to gain a foothold. While the media industry has been overwhelmed by Silicon Valley funded technology-based innovation, the industry’s advertising and subscription-dependent revenue models remain unchanged from those developed to support the network television business in the 1950s and 1960s. Media Advisory Group invests in and provides business development advisory services for early stage companies that offer innovative solutions that respond to and serve the changing demands confronting established media, advertising and marketing companies.
