Last week we published our mid-year review. Please check out the highlights below!

Business acquisitions: the corporate equivalent of an adrenaline-packed auction where the stakes are high, and the paddles are metaphorical balance sheets. 🎢 Some see it as the ultimate power play, while others view it more like a high-stakes poker game where bluffs are commonplace, but the chips? Oh, they're very real. What makes acquisitions feel like an episode of a dramatic series? - **The Promises:** Synergy, growth, and market share! But, spoiler alert, even the best-laid plans can implode like a marshmallow in a campfire. 🍡🔥 - **The Drama:** Ah, the inevitable clash of cultures! Who will adopt whose dress code at the water cooler? Casual Fridays just got real. - **The Legacy:** The eternal optimists whisper endless potential as skeptics chuckle in the corner, “Remember AOL and Time Warner?” However, let’s face it, each acquisition is a unique cocktail of ambition and trepidation. Cheers to the brave! https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisitions #CorporateDrama #GrowthMindset #AmbitionVsReality

So, you’ve decided to dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of business acquisitions, huh? Congratulations, you're officially part of the corporate Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor. Let’s break it down: • **Identify your target** – Think of this like dating. Swipe left on the losers, swipe right on the ones with potential. • **Due Diligence** – Fancy term for snooping around. Your aim: uncover anything that'll make you reconsider sealing the deal. • **Negotiation** – Time to show off those poker skills. Remember, folding isn't an option unless you're a quitter. • **Integration** – The perfect way to say, “Let’s make this chaos work for us.” Consider it the honeymoon phase, with fewer roses and more spreadsheets. Imagine this is a video game. You’ve unlocked a new level. New power-ups await, but so do new bosses. So, suit up, get your game face on, and conquer. Remember, the secret to mastering acquisitions is simple: don’t screw it up. Stay sharp, stay hungry. 🦈 https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisitions #CorporateTakeover #LevelUp #BusinessStrategy #EntrepreneurLife

Patience doesn’t come naturally to me. Sometimes I want to grow faster by making more acquisitions, signing more clients, and hiring more employees. Fast growth looks more exciting. But it comes with its own risks and challenges. Smart growth on the other hand means building a foundation that can last. Stay patient. Great things take time to build right. Slow and steady wins the race.

Business acquisitions: the glamorous dance where companies flirt and twirl, wondering if they’ll merge into harmony or crash in a cacophony. It’s the corporate version of a dating reality show, where instead of roses, we trade balance sheets and due diligence. Let’s be real. Sometimes these acquisitions are like getting a gift that you didn't ask for and attempting to smile when you open it. Great, just what I needed—more complexity! But hey, it's not all about critique. At its heart, an acquisition is an adventure—an expedition to the uncharted territories of growth and opportunity. - Imagine unlocking new markets like secret levels in a video game. - Visualize synergy as the secret sauce that makes the whole meal worthwhile. - Consider the risk involved, like skydiving without checking your parachute twice. Maybe it's audaciously beautiful, or maybe it’s terrifyingly brilliant. Either way, it’s a testament to corporate bravery, where high stakes meet bold moves. Who dares, wins. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisition #CorporateAdventures #GrowthHacks #BraveMoves

"Thank you to Gary Rubin for helping shape IPI's unique market position and go-to-market strategy. Former Executive Vice President at Cohen Media, his 100+ film acquisitions give him deep domain knowledge with distribution and sales. With Iconic, Investors find an alternative asset that is carefully devised to maximize their profits. Few finance companies understand the inner workings of the movie industry. Iconic now offers its investors access to one of the world's most profitable business models."

Tomorrow is July 4th - Independence Day! While we celebrate with burgers and hot dogs, fireworks, and a day off from work, the underlying importance of the holiday is tied to the US gaining independence from an external power. Independence in the business world is somewhat rare. Most businesses have to answer to a board, shareholders, or a parent company. This is especially true in the adtech space where the market has been heavy on acquisitions, IPOs, and VC investment. The benefit of independence? The ability to prioritize the customer over all else. Pontiac is a fully independent operator. We are self-funded, private, and free from prioritizing external profits over customer success. This means that we can build tools for our customers, focus on better customer margins, and innovate in creative ways that drive better customer performance. Independence is key to our ability to outmaneuver the other platforms and our customers can use it to their own benefit! Happy 4th! Enjoy the time off with family and friends!

A statement so minor yet so powerful! 👇 Imran Aftab: “People ask me how did you grow this fast?” “You’ve got to treat your employees well. If you do that, then they treat the customers well. That’s the basic formula; there’s nothing complicated about it. “ #10Pearls #10PearlsPakistan #Growth #PositiveWork #Efficiency #Growth

Ever wonder if business acquisitions are humanity’s attempt at playing corporate Pokémon? Gotta catch ‘em all, or at least the ones with stellar quarterly earnings. Beneath the slick suits and PowerPoint slides, lies a battlefield of wit, will, and wallets. - **The Game of Thrones:** It’s not just about buying a company; it’s about buying into potential, culture, and sometimes, chaos. And let’s face it, chaos is our favorite little spice. - **The Courtship Dance:** Before the ink dries, there’s a tango of presentations and pitch decks. And here, skepticism is an art form – will this union soar or crash spectacularly? Behind the jargon, acquisitions reveal a novel's worth of human drama and daring dreams. Amidst the spreadsheets, we feel the pull of ambition, the dance of destiny. Embrace the unpredictability; acquisitions are, after all, the wild, beautiful risk we just can’t resist. Keep those deals daringly dangerous. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisitions #CorporateAdventure #RiskyBusiness
