Our take
Red Ventures was founded in 2000, shortly before the dot-com bubble burst. It survived the crash, however, and has grown into one of America's biggest digital media companies. Its brands include Lonely Planet, Healthline and TV Guide.
The company was last valued at around $11 billion, which is evidence that its focus on momentum and adaptability has proven successful. Red Ventures is one of the major companies leading the shift towards intent-based media. It has acquired a range of specialist sites and publishing houses that serve the travel, tech and health sectors.
Red Ventures has managed to successfully out-compete rivals by moving away from the more traditional direct sales approach. Instead, it has focused on guiding customers towards purchases on other sites, and then taking a commission. The company's agility and laser-sharp focus on advice and specialty subjects will prove invaluable in the years to come.
