Our take
Immediate Media is a multinational publishing house that originated from the combined assets of multiple, formerly independent publishing houses, such as BBC Magazines, Magicalia, and Future.
Immediate, which was acquired by Hubert Burda Media in 2017, stands out for its niche as a content and platform company that only focuses on special interest markets, offering content from over 75 consumer brands ranging from Radio Times and CBeebies to BBC History and Cycling Plus. This breadth of specialised content has led to over 74M global consumers.
The company continues to see growth as it acquires new companies to expand its portfolio. Already the UK’s leading food media publisher - boasting 30M monthly users in this sector - it recently acquired Nutracheck, a food diary app and website, to enhance its food portfolio and further expand its digital capabilities.
