Walker Communications provides objective professional counsel to buyers and sellers interested in trade publications and specialized consumer magazines. We have found that small, entrepreneurial companies are often best able to identify new market opportunities and create new media products to serve them. Having proven the merit of their vision, however, these smaller firms often lack the capital necessary for further development. At Walker Communications, we specialize in assisting small and mid-size publishers in finding appropriate buyers or financing sources. We also help larger publishers and institutional investors identify attractive growth companies. Clients seeking to sell or buy such companies need professional advice. For many publishers, the decision to sell or buy is a once-in-a-career event for which their operating experiences have done little to prepare them, and the pressure of day-to-day responsibilities rarely allows the time or management attention needed to conduct a successful transaction. Based on a wide perspective developed from our experience with buyers and sellers, we can offer the highest quality of service, integrity and personal attention. Over the years, our base of client and industry contacts has grown to the point where we have significant and long-standing relationships with a number of trade and specialized consumer publishing companies. These relationships, as well as our knowledge of the publishing industry, form the basis upon which our merger-and-acquisition services add value in each client assignment.
