The Insider: Meet the Fund Manager sessions are a great way to hear directly from leading funds managers. They share their approach to investing, favourite companies and their market view for the year ahead.
The Insider: Meet the CEO sessions feature a selection of company leaders who provide a succinct overview of big things their companies are doing.
When COVID-19 hit last year and cities went silent, companies slashed their non-digital advertising budgets. With major media players discounting their billboards by as much as 90%, the industry had hit rock bottom.
Amongst all this, an unlikely underdog caught the eye of Capital H Management’s Harley Grosser: Motio Limited (ASX: MXO), a place-based media business built for today’s advertising environment.
Motio sells advertising space on their digital displays that are positioned in long dwell time locations such as medical centre waiting rooms, sports centres, and service stations.
“We were trying to find a microcap with a scalable strategy and well-aligned with high quality management teams. And I think Motio is that,” said Mr Grosser.
“It’s a lot easier for Motio to build this from the ground up than it is for a legacy player who has a whole lot of old school technology to make that shift,” added Mr Grosser, whose company invested in the company in part based on its strategy focused on scalability and acquisitions.
Motio’s CEO Adam Cadwalladar presented at Reach Markets’ Meet the CEO session earlier this year to discuss his business.
“We have a really considered ecosystem that engages the people that are in the environments. Importantly, the locations themselves use our digital displays to connect with their customers which provides an additional level of ‘stickiness’ that brands truly appreciate,” he said during the session.
Motio recently expanded its medical centre reach almost eightfold through an acquisition of healthcare-focused media company, Swift. Motio now has access to over 500 medical centres across the country.
“It gives the platform the opportunity to roll out content and technology across that space where they instantly have the scale where it makes sense from a revenue perspective,” Mr Grosser explained.
Since Capital H Management invested in Motio, the market cap has gone from around $7 million to $30 million.
All four of the board directors have also recently bought more stock which is “always a great sign” according to Mr Grosser.
The company is now preparing to launch its investor relations strategy which in Mr Grosser’s view will lead to more market visibility, deals, and acquisitions.
