Quantum Media was honored again in 2023 as one of the top consulting firms in the US by Forbes and Statista. And as in each year, Quantum Media is among the smallest firms named, having three Principals and four Senior Consultants—quite a contrast with the giants A.T. Kearney and Accenture.  The firm was recognized in the four consulting categories of Digital Transformation, Internet, Media & Entertainment and Marketing, Brand & Pricing. 

The Forbes Statista survey selected only 199 firms within 16 categories out of “almost 1 million management consulting firms in the U.S. (a 2% increase from last year).” Read the story and see the full list in Forbes. 

“We are proud to be recognize once again as great consultants who are specialists in our field,” said Quantum Media Principal Ava Seave. “We are grateful to our awesome clients! They know that we may be a small group of professionals, but we know what we are talking about when it comes to the strategy and execution of digital transformation in media and entertainment companies.”

Quantum Media’s consulting work has spanned every aspect of the media business, from developing an Internet business strategy for a Fortune 500 company to advising a young entrepreneur on launching a niche digital product.

  • Client Survey: 1,200+ clients were prompted to evaluate management consultancies they have worked with during the last 4 years
