The digital media IPO market in 2012 has been challenging compared to 2011. Several high profile consumer internet companies that went public in 2012, like Facebook, have underperformed and brought into question valuations of consumer internet companies. Many 2011 digital IPO companies have also struggled with changing business models as public companies. Enterprise marketing IPOs have performed relatively better based on company fundamentals. Overall M&A has been a risky strategic option for newly public digital companies.
