Telecommunications, Entertainment and media

A strategic look at the backbone of the digital economy

As carriers’ networks increasingly support today’s connected life, telecoms executives are facing a wide range of challenges and opportunities. While data traffic is reaching new heights, pricing for connectivity isn’t: The forces of commoditization are real.

Carriers are feeling the “cash squeeze” of continued demands to upgrade their networks versus stagnating revenues. Leaders are tasked with having to reinvent their businesses, finding new ways to differentiate and monetize their strategic assets, all while radically reducing spend levels and adapting their organizations to the demands of the digital age. In addition, the advent of next-generation networks and other new technologies present opportunities to invest and grow, or fail, which calls for analytical rigor and clarity in strategy in a highly dynamic environment.

We provide fresh perspectives to help our clients — including the world’s top wireline, wireless, cable, satellite, and alternative carriers — manage costs strategically and differentiate their businesses for sustainable growth.

A fan-focused future

These are turbulent times for many entertainment and media companies. The shift to digital is well past the tipping point. Changes in marketer and consumer spending continue to accelerate, necessitating new strategies and flexible business models for entertainment and media companies to thrive in increasingly global markets. But even amid disruption, some realities endure: The most valuable constituents in the entertainment and media industry remain the active, loyal, and passionate fans.

We believe that as the industry transitions to a more direct-to-consumer world, those companies—whether they’re global giants or small startups—that fully embrace a fan-centric approach to their business and how it functions will emerge as the new leaders. With deep industry experience, functional expertise, and international reach, we unite strategy and execution to deliver immediate impact and lasting value for B2C and B2B clients.

Enabling disruption

As innovations like cloud computing, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and robotics become increasingly common, technology companies are poised to disrupt nearly every industry. This rapid change and the huge potential for new customers brings great opportunities for the tech sector, but it also brings challenges.

We help clients make tough choices about what markets to pursue and what distinct capabilities to build for sustainable growth.
