PRWeek’s latest Beyond the Noise podcast looks at the global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market and the big trends comms professionals should know about.
Our guests both work in M&A for major consultancies: Oliver Mann, a partner in Kekst CNC’s London office, and Finlay Donaldson, associate partner at H/Advisors Maitland. They join PRWeek journalists Siobhan Holt and John Harrington this week.
Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or on your favourite platform.
Our guests examine how the global M&A market has changed throughout 2025, especially in response to President Trump’s tariffs and other geopolitical shifts.
They discuss how important M&A work is at their agencies, how this has changed over the past couple of years, and whether they plan to add extra services to serve clients who are looking at deals.
PR’s relationship with investor relations and the appetite for stock market flotations and private equity sales are also put under the microscope. And the comms professionals offer their predictions for M&A for the rest of the year.
