JupiterMedia acquires adsoftheworld.com and creativebits.org
Jupitermedia Corporation announced last week that it has acquired the assets of AdsOfTheWorld.com and CreativeBits.org. The two sites were created by Ivan Raszl, a Hungarian advertising creative director currently living in Bahrain. The combined traffic of the two sites exceeds 1 million unique visitors per month. Both websites will become part of Jupitermedia's Graphics.com network providing user-generated content for the creative and design community.
AdsOfTheWorld.com is an advertising archive and community site that showcases the best and most interesting advertising worldwide. Creativebits.org is a professional blog and community site for graphic designers working on Mac OS X. The acquisition seems to fit with the JupiterMedia business model of capturing the relevant web traffic and leveraging it to sell advertising and convert new customers to its stock licensing products.
"We're very excited to be adding these two rapidly growing creative community-driven sites to our Graphics.com network. A key driver to commercial success of any online business is having direct access to the related professional communities," stated Alan M Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation. "In addition to strengthening Graphics.com's advertising offerings, this acquisition provides us with the opportunity to cross-promote our Jupiterimages offerings, which include digital images, music, footage, flash, fonts, animations and illustrations, to a community of over 1.0 million creative professionals," added Meckler.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
