Centaur Media is an international provider of business information, training and specialist consultancy. Its Xeim and The Lawyer business units serve the marketing and legal sectors respectively and offer customers a wide range of products and services targeted at helping them add value.

Management’s MAP23 margin target was set against a very different macroeconomic backdrop. That it still looks to be in reach is testament to the degree of background effort. Xeim’s target market is the top 200 companies by marketing spend. Its goal is to increase sales of corporate packages, subscriptions and partnerships, becoming more deeply embedded in customers’ workflows. The Lawyer is targeted at major UK and European law firms and in-house corporate lawyers, where it is enhancing its utility and growing its subscription revenue base.
