Candle Media co-CEO Kevin Mayer said the Blackstone-backed media company plans to sell or IPO its individual brands rather than the overall company. Why it matters: The strategy marks a departure from Candle's original plan and exemplifies growth potential for diversified individual brands versus holding companies.


Kevin Mayer, co-founder of Candle Media, is exploring potential exits for several of the company's brands, including Moonbug Entertainment, known for the popular children's show "CoComelon."
