Flashes & Flames Media Ltd, publisher of the weekly subscription newsletter on media, business information and events, has acquired the assets of Media Voices, the producer of The Publisher Podcast and Newsletter, The Publisher Summits, and The Publisher Podcast and Newsletter Awards.

Flashes & Flames Founder, Colin Morrison commented: “This deal brings together a wealth of experience and resources and, most of all, committed audiences for whom we have exciting plans to expand our information services and events. We believe Flashes & Flames and Media Voices is one of those all too rare opportunities to ensure that 2+2=5. We have lots of plans to pursue ourselves and with others.”

Esther Kezia Thorpe, Co-Founder, Media Voices said: “We’ve learned so much since starting Media Voices as a podcast almost nine years ago. It’s gone from being a spare-time podcast to a full media business, and we’re really looking forward to working with Colin to take it to the next level.

We’ve iterated Media Voices over the years to take a case-study approach to publisher products and have seen success in making sponsorships our primary revenue stream. Flashes & Flames has built a thriving subscription business. Bringing these together, we can learn a lot from each other and achieve far more together than we could separately.”

Peter Houston, Co-Founder, Media Voices added: “Media Voices has been way more successful than we ever dreamed when we started out. But there comes a time when you realise that to take the next big step up you need to collaborate with others. Media Voices and Flashes & Flames are natural partners – we do very different things, but broadly for the same companies and many of the same industry leaders. We can see so much potential in working together.”
