Media & Telecommunications

Transforming traditional media

Audiences and consumers are moving faster than ever, and streaming, mobile and digital platforms are now the norm. Advertising revenues are shifting with them, leaving legacy businesses with declining revenues while operating and broadcasting costs continue to rise.

Yet many Australians still rely upon free-to-air TV, mobile networks and broadband services for news, entertainment and connectivity. This creates opportunity for organisations that can move quickly and adapt to these changing expectations.

The industry faces competing priorities: new entrants are intensifying competition, while government demands for local content and expectations to serve regional and remote areas persist.

Telecommunications providers are navigating the rollout of next-generation networks, while broadcasters manage the complexities of content production and distribution. These decisions are time-sensitive, complex and politically charged and involve many stakeholders.

As an independent Australian firm, KordaMentha understands the sensitivities of these industries. We help you rethink your operating and cost models to match new revenue realities and shifting consumption patterns.

Our approach makes us a trusted partner in commercial negotiations from securing media rights and distribution agreements to navigating spectrum management and network sharing. We work with sporting bodies, media groups, telecommunications providers and regulators to balance commercial outcomes with public interest and access needs.

For more than two decades, we have guided leading organisations through major transformation, delivering outcomes that create lasting change in a rapidly evolving market.
