Our client was a provider of global insurance across emerging markets. Not surprisingly, it attracted the attention of private investors. Shortly after the transaction, we were asked to help the company to develop a new line of business.

​

We helped the company to develop an innovative approach to enter the micro-credit industry, by using the data it had about the customers of its existing MNO clients to produce credit scores and advance small amounts of credit. Our blueprint for this global product launch was the first in a series of products that will see the business become a credible player in the booming mobile financial services industry.

A leading magazine publishing house was running a successful direct marketing and customer care business. We were given the task of investigating this business area, followed by the development of a growth strategy.

​

We analyzed the markets for direct marketing and customer care and identified substantial strengths and weaknesses of the company. Supported by market research, chances and risks for the separate market segments were identified. In addition to this, a business model was developed to estimate future sales growth and profitability potential. The different analyses were the basis for developing a structured growth strategy.

​

We supported the client successfully with internal communications and the implementation of this strategy.

An international media house wanted to expand its business in digital media by making an important purchase in the industry.

​

To back up the planned investment decision, we executed a market and commercial due diligence on the acquisition target. This included an extensive analysis of markets and competition as well as the development of a market model. Solon also checked and remodelled the business plan submitted by the target’s management.

​

 The company was able to see how it could strengthen its digital business division through the acquisition thereby opening new doors to international growth opportunities.
