This seems huge money to me:

Also

To date, more than 1.8 million members have signed up to brandsExclusive, with an additional 70,000 new members joining every month.

I had no idea it was that big. I don't know anyone who's joined it even.

Anyway it certainly underlines traditional media's push into online. 1900 jobs going at Fairfax print media but all this investment into websites.

"What we will be looking for is, what other acquisitions might we be able to bolt on to that core platform?"

This follows on from on the OzSale acquisition of BuyInvite. Big money being thrown around for sure

BrandsExclusive have spammed my wife's email for at least the last 18 months... No matter how many times you try to unsubscribe they keep sending spam.

(The 70,000 new members each month are probably all unsolicited emails they have scraped from somewhere.)

Think they run a fair amount of affiliate eDM campaigns.. I know I have promoted a few
