EP124: "From Acquisitions to Advocacy: Insights into the exhibition industry" - Doug Emslie, Chairman Cuil Bay Capital & Raccoon Media Group
Manage episode 448950020 series 3332506
In this episode, I welcome Doug Emslie, former CEO of Tarsus Group, and current chairman of Cuil Bay capital and Raccoon Media Group. Doug shares insights into his recent investment in Jacobs Media, a leader in travel media and events, to support its expansion into global markets, particularly the Middle East and U.S, and the launch of an animal health division at Raccoon Media, highlighting the growing demand for passion-led events in areas like pet care and equestrian shows. This move signals Raccoon Media’s commitment to expanding B2B events in the thriving pet and animal health sector. We examine the trade show industry’s ongoing M&A boom, debating whether current acquisition levels are sustainable or risking a potential market bubble, and discuss the recent UK budget and its potential impact on business, and the US election, and the pros and cons of a Trump or Harris presidency. This episode is essential viewing for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and industry insiders alike. Tune in for Doug’s in-depth take on the forces shaping the future of trade shows, exhibitions, and global business.
