Appetite Media and MediaPublishing.com Forge Strategic Joint Venture to Innovate Media Landscape

Appetite Media, a leading entity in the global media and technology landscape, has officially announced a joint venture with MediaPublishing.com, a company known for its comprehensive range of services in media, branding, and strategy development. This collaboration signifies a notable advancement in the media sector, indicating a shift towards enhanced innovation and growth.

As part of its new strategic direction, Appetite Media is set to divest several of its online properties, including Appetites.com, BungeeJumpers.com, Groomlake.com, Prisoncell.com, StreetArtist.com, Travelernews.com, Vegetariancook.com, and WorldTravelers.com. This decision allows Appetite Media to focus more on technological innovations and digital advancements, including the development of new AI-driven platforms and immersive virtual experiences, in partnership with Media Publishing.

“Founding and nurturing Appetite has been a journey fueled by passion and an insatiable appetite for innovation and excellence,” stated Courtney Weston, the founder of both Appetite Media and Media Publishing. “The collaboration with Media Publishing marks a pivotal moment where our collective strengths will drive new levels of creativity and value. Together, we will continue to shape the future of media with integrity, insight, and a relentless commitment to exceeding expectations.”

This venture is poised to leverage over 17 years of Appetite Media’s intellectual property, R&D, and strategic assets, integrating them into Media Publishing’s operations to enhance its media solutions suite.

Carpathia Media, an expert in digital asset management, will oversee the transition of Appetite Media’s digital assets. Furthermore, eNaming LLC, led by Tracy Fogarty and known for its domain brokerage expertise, has been appointed to manage the sale of Appetites.com and other key digital assets. This could offer interesting opportunities for small business owners and solopreneurs looking to acquire premium digital properties.

The terms of the joint venture remain confidential, focusing on the strategic sharing of resources to foster innovation and expansion in the media industry. This move underscores a broader trend where media companies are increasingly turning to technological solutions to drive growth and competitiveness in a digital-first world.

We typically get the short end of the stick…from big business, from crappy employers and from crappy governments. So what I’ve (and my esteemed and impeccably dressed cohorts) decided to do is call them out on it…and also give you solutions to start tilting the playing field in your favor.
