MessageSpace Acquires Global New Media Limited

Blog advertising niche company EOS Online Media Ltd (trading as “MessageSpace”) has acquired Global New Media Limited, a creative web design consultancy.

Global New Media Ltd will be renamed as MessageSpace://Creative, a subsidiary of EOS Online Media Ltd. MessageSpace://Creative will deepen the company’s existing partnerships with publishers, and aims to play a vital role in changing the way that people consume information - be it political or otherwise. The acquisition and subsequent re-branding will allow MessageSpace to focus its development programmes on enabling publishers to create better presented content. The MessageSpace://Creative client portfolio ranges Labourhome to ToryRadio. High profile blogs like Iain Dale’s Diary, Guido Fawkes and RecessMonkey are also represented by MessageSpace.

“New media advertising these days is an effective way to participate in a public dialogue - but we want to be ready for the stage when it moves beyond clicks and eyeballs. MessageSpace://Creative will allow us to expand into emerging territories like video and podcasts, with a dedicated team and loads of experience at hand,” said MessageSpace CIO Jag Singh. “It’s also about harnessing the participatory processes within communities, and bridging.”

“We’ll definitely benefit from MessageSpace’s client reach and technology leadership in the blogosphere, and we’re confident that this partnership will afford us the the flexibility and resources needed to move into emerging fields within the new media sector,” said Mike Rouse, managing director of the re-branded MessageSpace://Creative Limited.

Kelly Nightingale, Managing Director of EOS Online Media Ltd added, “the experience that Mike Rouse brings to MessageSpace://Creative from work he has done at pioneering online IPTV channel 18DoughtyStreet.com will be an invaluable asset to our growth plans. The acquisition will bring additional expertise and skills into the group and capitalise on current and future market opportunities.”

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
