Jupiter and Kagan Merge
US media and technology specialists JupiterResearch has been bought from its parent, Jupitermedia Corporation, and merged with Kagan Research, which the new owner MCG Capital Corporation acquired in 2004. The merged company will be known as JupiterKagan, Inc.
The merger creates an organization of more than 100 employees operating out of six major offices in the US, UK, Germany and France and offering research, consulting and thought leadership in the areas of media, telecommunications, the Internet and emerging consumer technologies.
Kagan has a thirty-five year track record of providing research and consulting ranging from technology to finance, while Jupiter has made a name for itself in the last ten years as a specialist in the Internet and emerging consumer technologies.
'This merger brings together two brilliant teams of analysts with unparalleled expertise in their fields' according to Tim Baskerville, CEO of JupiterKagan, Inc. 'With greater scale, richer combined data resources, and a highly attractive continuous information service business model, JupiterKagan is positioned to be a major force in our industry.' David Schatsky, President of the new company adds: 'This is a time of unprecedented disruption and opportunity in media, the Internet and telecommunications sectors broadly. I'm excited by the expanded opportunities this merger gives us to help our clients make smart strategic decisions.'
MCG Capital Corporation is a specialized commercial finance company providing financing and advisory services to middle market, growth-oriented US companies.
