Media, cable, and telecommunications are at an inflection point. Making the right moves demands the rare combination of experience in the details and frontier thinking. Tristellium is built for the moments that define the next decade.
We've spent decades working in media, cable, and telecom. We didn’t pivot into this or bolt it onto our primary practice. Our combination of experience and vision is why clients sole-source us when there's no margin for error: when a deal has to close, a launch can't slip, or a transformation project needs to get unstuck.
We’re not in it for us. When we make a recommendation, there's no implementation contract waiting on the other side of it. We work alongside leadership and operating teams until the mission is accomplished.
A partner or principal leads every engagement and stays in the work, not just at the kickoff. No handoffs, no junior bench running the day-to-day. The people you meet first are the people you'll be working with throughout.
Our partners and principals have run networks, launched products, and executed transformations inside the cable, broadband, broadcast, and streaming companies. We know what's hard, what looks hard but isn't, and what day-to-day operators will and won't accept.
We don’t shy away from tough conversations because that's how the right decisions get made. We know the difference between a hard call and a wrong one.
A major North American ISP was acquiring a fiber operator covering 1.2 million homes across more than a dozen markets. Tristellium led the technical due diligence and structured the post-close agreements. A bottom-up analysis showed upgrade costs were more than double the seller's estimate, resulting in a valuation adjustment of more than $500 million. Twenty-plus agreements were locked in before signing, giving the buyer the leverage to close on the right number and the coverage to run the business on Day 1.

The work involved building the new company's entire digital business from scratch — a new ad-supported, MVPD-authenticated streaming platform across web, mobile, and connected TV; the migration of 12 brands and 50+ digital properties; and the standardized workflows to operate them — all in time for the public spin date. Tristellium ran the program from audit through go live.
