2 predictions- Dec 24, 2023Too early to tell.“Both Henriksson and Chris Sahota, CEO of M&A advisory firm Ciesco, highlighted Accenture as a likely active acquirer of advertising businesses next year [2024].”
Accenture made no major advertising agency or adtech acquisitions in 2024. It focused on consulting/tech deals (e.g., acquiring TalentSprint in India for digital learning), but not actively in 2024 as predicted. The year is not yet over, so this could still change.
- Dec 24, 2023Called it.“Expect Walmart to be an aggressive industry consolidator, making strategic acquisitions in 2024 to obtain the ad tech capabilities it requires to continue growing its retail media business.”
Walmart's retail media network (Walmart Connect) grew via partnerships (e.g., measurement deals with Nielsen, The Trade Desk), but no major strategic buys were reported. Growth continued (ad revenue ~$3.4B in FY2024), but prediction of "aggressive" 2024 consolidation did not materialize.
