Social media has become a standard business practice as consumers seek to engage actively with a brand. The Consumer Products sector is evolving and growing as changes in online, retail, and licensing channels are blurring, and technology is impacting the way people shop. The eCommerce platform has revolutionized the customer experience and provides consumers with an inside look into their favorite brands. Consumers are now better educated and do their research before shopping. Moreover, investors are looking for leaders and companies who are willing to take on challenges and build great brands.

Our distinguished panelists from across the branded consumer sector discussed the increasingly challenging environment for retailers, the rise of social media in the eCommerce industry, and the omnichannel world that is disrupting norms and changing the retail market landscape and consumer shopping behavior.

Insights and Predictions from Leading Middle-Market Investment Bankers

The current M&A environment has been described as the calm before the storm. Many experts have suggested the quieter Q4’16 will rebound strongly in early 2017. The number of mid-sized U.S. companies already engaged in or open to buying and selling has risen sharply, setting the stage for a very active 2017 M&A marketplace. With a new administration in Washington, the likelihood of lower taxes and fewer regulations provides further grist for robust markets.

Join us as featured panelist Chairman and Managing Director of Intrepid, Jim Freedman discusses Investment Banking Trends. 

When: Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017

Where: The Montage Hotel, Beverly Hills

Intrepid’s Co-Head of Commercial & Consumer Technology Gary Rabishaw will moderate a discussion on how the consumer electronics sector is continually disrupted by new technologies, new entrants and business models, and how companies can maintain their market position and momentum.

With new products linked to the “Internet of Things” adding even more connectivity and intelligence to consumer electronics products, our homes are being transformed by smartphones as well as smart thermostats, locks and doorbells. We use technology to measure our activity and our sleep, creating mountains of data. Pro-quality audio equipment is now affordable for our living rooms and offices. We’ve become accustomed to “anytime and anywhere” entertainment, and demand convenience and ease of use in our tech gear—placing enormous pressure on manufacturers to develop the next big thing.

Featured speakers include:

• Marcus Ryle, President and Co-Founder of Line 6, Inc.
• John Maier, CEO and President of Blue Microphones
• Sunny Choi, Vice President of Corporate Development, Belkin International
• Tom Campbell, Director of Video & Audio Center

Join us at the Westlake Village Inn on February 1 for a breakfast meeting in which our featured speakers will tackle these issues and discuss how companies are repositioning themselves to build market-moving brands that capture the hearts and minds of consumers.
