    Team Experience

    Unlike other firms, every Cole Media consultant has significant hands-on operational experience at media companies.

    In addition to our in-house operational roles at most major studios and other entertainment companies, our consultants also have worked with major consulting and financial firms such as Bain and Company and Goldman Sachs.

    All team members are experienced independent consultants, able to quickly get up to speed on new projects and to manage outsourced client relationships. We have significant international and digital expertise.

    Teams are tailored to the needs of each assignment depending on the skillset and knowledge base required.
