LUMA’s Singular Focus on Digital Media
Technology
Media
Marketing
MarTech
Digital
Content
Ad	Tech
Ø LUMA’s	expertise	is	at	the	intersection	of	Media,	
Marketing	and	Technology
Ø At	this	intersection	exists:
§ Digital	Content: content	sites,	MCNs,	game	
publishers,	aggregators
§ Ad	Tech: display,	search,	video,	mobile,	social,	
content	marketing/native,	connected	TV
§ MarTech: data,	analytics,	sales	and	marketing	
automation,	email,	predictive	tools,	commerce	
technology,	shopper	marketing,	payments
Ø Mobile proliferation	has	a	major	impact	on	these	
markets	and	LUMA	is	deeply	knowledgeable	on	
mobile
3
Overall Commentary on Consolidation
Ø In	our	last	Q2	2016	Market	Report,	we	reported	
64	mergers	and	acquisitions	in	digital	media	and	
marketing
Ø The	deals	we	track	in	this	report	fall	into	one	of	
four	categories:
§ Large	(over	$500	mm)
§ Medium	($100	– $500	mm)
§ Small	($20	– $100	mm)
§ Sub	$20	mm	exits	are	considered	tech	and	team	deals,	
capitulations,	or	undisclosed

U.S. Digital Media M&A Activity by Sector
Source: LUMA
#	of	Transactions
Ø Although	M&A	activity	remained	
steady,	there	were	many	large	
scaled	billion	dollar	deals	including	
the	AppLovin,	NetSuite,	Playtika,	
and	Yahoo	acquisitions
Ø As	venture	capital	funding	dries	up	
and	fragmentation	causes	more	
undifferentiated	companies	to	
struggle,	we	expect	to	see	more	of	a	
mix	of	strategic	and	“capitulation”	
deals	in	the	future
