Methodology

Deal Atlas maps transactions across media, creators, production, agencies, branded entertainment and related businesses. Sheard Media maintains the underlying research spreadsheet.

Sources and verification

Each record cites a source announcement or industry report. Dates and verification labels reflect the source spreadsheet. Coverage is selective and is not an exhaustive record of the market.

Financial terms

Deal consideration, implied valuation and revenue are distinct fields. Undisclosed terms are left blank. Reported figures and estimates retain their confidence labels. Announced transactions may not have closed; licensing does not imply ownership.

Corrections

Source links can change. For corrections or missing information, contact rob@robsheard.com. Verify consequential decisions against the original source.
