                <p class="intro">Collectively, the Ingenious Corporate Finance team have more than 50 years' experience in media.</p>
<p>In Corporate Finance, we have successfully advised on the sales of some of the most innovative and creative companies in the sector, including Simon Fuller&rsquo;s '19 Entertainment' as well as 'sit-up tv', 'The Search Works', one of the UK&rsquo;s leading search engine marketing agencies and most recently Moonpig.com. We know our sector intimately and, because we have worked with most of its key players, we will be able to help you find the most credible buyers and negotiate&nbsp;the most advantageous&nbsp;deal.</p>
<p>The companies we advise often hold substantial intangible value in their brands, as well as in their creative talent, the content they produce and the technology they develop. Thanks to our experience, we can ensure that these intangibles are fully valued in any transaction.</p>
