Candle Media's Kevin Mayer eyes exits for Moonbug and other brands
Candle Media co-CEO Kevin Mayer said the Blackstone-backed media company plans to sell or IPO its individual brands rather than the overall company. Why it matters: The strategy marks a departure from Candle's original plan and exemplifies growth potential for diversified individual brands versus holding companies. What they're saying: "We had intended for Candle to be an integrated operating company with different audience verticals all approaching it in similar ways and it really hasn't happened," Mayer said at an Axios event on Tuesday in Cannes. "We're now more or less ... three independent companies now that are operating in different ways," Mayer said. Catch up quick: Candle's three core companies are Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, children's entertainment company Moonbug and social publisher ATTN. Zoom in: Moonbug, which creates and distributes "CoComelon" and "Blippi," could grow to become a bigger IP holding company, be acquired by an entertainment or tech company, or pursue an IPO. "It has the scale and the platform to extend itself to other audiences, older kids, teenagers. You can see taking the Moonbug model, YouTube-first and then multi-platform model, around that IP. We see that happening in a bunch of different verticals," Mayer said.
