OC&C advises LDC and Hybrid on successful exit to EAB

We are pleased to congratulate LDC and Hybrid on the successful exit of Hybrid to EAB. OC&C provided commercial due diligence to support LDC and Hybrid.

Hybrid is a leading digital media and student marketing business, connecting higher education institutions with prospective students globally. Since LDC’s investment in 2021, the business has expanded its service offering and geographic reach, combining performance marketing expertise with proprietary technology and data to drive student enrolment at scale.

OC&C’s commercial due diligence assessed Hybrid’s market positioning, growth potential and strategic differentiation in the fast-evolving higher education marketing space. Our work included deep analysis of the global higher education landscape, the shift towards digital student recruitment, competitive benchmarking, and Hybrid’s ability to scale its proposition internationally.
