Australian media organisations have begun to develop new business models that hedge established products against newer acquisitions. 46 PricewaterhouseCoopers
Why? Our Clients. Entertainment and Media National economic expansion continues to grow with strong contributions from entertainment and media. The sector’s overall momentum is projected to stay relatively ahead of infl ation with fl uctuations between individual mediums. Signifi cant growth will continue in areas of new media while traditional outlets such as print, radio and free-to-air will parallel or remain slightly behind infl ation. This trend will see companies that own traditional media looking to expand or invest in new products as the growth rates diverge. PwC has played an instrumental role in helping Australian media organisations understand changing consumer behaviour and create strategies for confronting the evolving market. In response, these organisations have begun to Case Study Salmat: Preparing for growth develop new business models that hedge established products against newer acquisitions. As entertainment and media organisations attempt to diversify, the Federal Government continues to work toward relaxing foreign and cross-media ownership laws. Salmat is the leading direct customer communication company in the Australasian region. The company assists businesses in communicating with customers through targeted media such as catalogues, business process outsourcing such as bank and services statements and inbound and outbound contact centres. PwC has worked with Salmat since its transition from a privately owned business to an ASX 200-listed entity in 2003. The fi rm’s services have spanned a variety of areas including risk management and internal audit support. With the help of PwC in 2006, Salmat launched its business transformation program – Optimise. The initiative is designed to prepare the organisation and its internal culture for the next 10 years of growth. The fi rm has supported the program by providing six months of project management support, project delivery and communications assistance. The resulting mergers and acquisitions will dramatically impact the future of the sector and its fl exibility in addressing these issues. “The complexity and depth of the program required us to find a partner with the experience to get us started and facilitate a high level of skills transfer to our project team. The assistance of PwC was integral in achieving our objectives during this phase of Optimise.” Peter Anson, Optimise Program Director Salmat Annual Review 2006 47
