Strategic Advisors on Deals

Hi all,

I was wondering as a junior pe analyst, how do you generally go about searching for relevant strategic advisors for a given industry? Other than searching for advisors on precedent transactions on MergerMarket and CapitalIQ, are there any more reliable sources out there which are more consulting oriented?

Thanks for the help in advance!
