Video Editing Company Nearly Fades to Black

A 25-year-old successful video post-production company, that serves global advertisers and their creative agencies, was stagnating.  Revenue had been declining for four years, and EBITDA fell to an all-time low of 5%.  I was engaged to develop a turnaround plan to save and revitalize the business.  

The revised strategy that was adopted by the three operating partners and the leadership team returned the company to 15% annual revenue gains and tripled EBITDA margin to 17%.  This involved a rapid and thorough assessment that defined the need to stabilize and rationalize the business by offering graceful exits to a few executives.  Then securing new bank financing to support adding a third business line to serve a new customer segment, and expanding and upgrading the sales and marketing talent. 

Today, the company has more than doubled its revenue and earnings, has seven different service offerings and expanded from one to three US locations.
