The world is currently in the early stages of a dramatic transformation that is challenging many sectors of the media and entertainment industries, and thus creating significant opportunities for sophisticated investors.

Digital technology has transformed the production and distribution of media and entertainment content, threatening existing business models while also unlocking new economic opportunity. Broadband services, enhanced interactivity, and more portable form factors have created new ways for content to reach its audience.

Globalization has opened new markets, but also increased the complexity of distribution and intellectual property issues. The traditional business models for content that have been successful in North America and Europe are changing rapidly while entirely new business models are being developed in Asia.

Elevation Partners was founded to address the opportunities and challenges facing media and entertainment businesses in this environment. Specifically, we invest in intellectual property-centric businesses, as well as traditional media and entertainment companies where sales growth and profitability can be improved and transformed through the strategic use of technology, strategic licensing, or improvements in core marketing, distribution or operating processes.

Our professionals have extensive experience investing in, managing and financing a wide range of companies in the media and entertainment sector. We believe our media and entertainment industry expertise, technology insights, operating experience, transaction skills, investing experience and network of relationships make us a unique partner for management to improve and grow these types of businesses.
