Our take
Business Insider - that entered the market at roughly the same time as fellow digital news and media names Buzzfeed, Vice, and HuffPost - has steadily and solidly built itself into one of the most familiar digital platforms for business, current affairs, finance and tech news.
Business Insider was founded by well-known trader and entrepreneur Henry Blodget and sold to German giant Axel Springer in 2015, which signalled an uptick in its performance. This undoubtedly helped it to weather the storm of the pandemic, which hit advertisers hard, and saw many platforms like Insider's lose out on their major revenue stream.
It's also setting itself apart from the likes of Buzzfeed by staying focused on journalism, rather than moving sideways into entertainment, Business Insider's disciplined approach has paid off, and its subscriber numbers continue to steadily rise. Having established itself in the digital news space, at a time when more and more consumers are reading articles online, it can be assumed it will find further success in the future.
