January 7, 2025 – The Media Financial Management Association (MFM), a professional association that serves financial professionals in the media and entertainment industry, and Creditsafe, the global leader in credit risk and business intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership designed to help businesses in the media industry take a more data-driven approach to credit risk management. Through the partnership, MFM members can access Creditsafe business reports, media industry reports and additional credit risk management services at preferred pricing.

The partnership, which officially launched on December 2, 2024, also offers valuable insights and trends gleaned from the association’s proprietary Accounts Receivable data for advertising agencies and individual advertisers. By doing so, MFM members can effectively spot patterns early and make decisions that protect their cash flow and grow the bottom line.

“MFM has offered its media companies credit reports for more than four decades through the Broadcast Cable Credit Association (BCCA),” said Joseph Annotti, MFM president and CEO.  “Our partnership with Creditsafe enhances our ability to provide MFM members access to the best credit bureau data on the market at the lowest possible price.  Moreover, the additional benefits members will receive in terms of technology tools that can dramatically improve the management of their A/R data, make the partnership even more valuable to media companies and makes membership in MFM more attractive than ever.”

Matthew Debbage, CEO of the Americas and Asia at Creditsafe, said: “Partnerships are an important part of our long-term business strategy. MFM is a highly respected industry organization, and we see tremendous value from partnering with them. We firmly believe that data provides the most valuable insights and context into a company’s financial health. This partnership allows us to scale our data-focused goals to help businesses in the media industry.”
