A Media Operator (AMO), founded by Jacob Donnelly, is a community for entrepreneurs and operators in digital media and online publishing. Its summit brings together founders, executives, and operators who want practical ideas, strong conversations, and useful connections.
On October 15, 2024, Refact will be in New York as a proud Presenting Sponsor of the AMO Summit. For teams building in media, this event is a chance to hear what is working now, what buyers are looking for, and where publishing businesses may be headed next.
Last year, more than 130 people joined the summit in New York to talk about business models, industry trends, and the state of media M&A. This year features a diverse and dynamic roster of speakers and panelists focused on building durable media companies.
At Refact, we work with content-heavy businesses that need better systems, stronger sites, and clearer product decisions. Our experience in web development for publishers has shown us that growth often stalls when the underlying platform cannot keep up.
That is why this topic matters. Being a media operator today is tough, especially when growth creates pressure on your team, tools, and workflows. Infrastructure is easy to ignore until it slows publishing, hurts revenue, or weakens buyer confidence.
Our Founder and CEO, Saeedreza, will present with Ajay, CEO of our partner company Flexpress, on a key media M&A topic: Infrastructure, a silent dealmaker that creates enterprise value. Using a case study approach, they will show how stronger infrastructure can improve efficiency, support scale, and increase the value of media assets during a sale process.
This is not only about content quality. Buyers also look at how well a business runs behind the scenes, from publishing workflows to performance, maintainability, and revenue systems. That is where having the right product and technology partner can make a real difference.
