The b5media Franchise: 200 Blogs, 3 Million Monthly Readers Strong

(FranchisePick.Com)  Franchise Pick is a proud member of the b5media blog network.  What’s a blog network?  Well, it’s much like the best franchise networks: a group individuals banded together under a common brand to gain the benefit of pooled resources, collective brainpower and camaraderie.  Members of the b5media network maintain individual blogs on wildly diverse subjects… from genetic research to celebrity gossip, from video games to dining in Paris.  And baldness.

Now there’s another reason to be proud:  the same week b5media Network was featured in the New York Times, it also has passed the 200 blog milestone. 

Jeremy Wright, b5media’s CEO, cofounded b5media with five blogs in late-2005.  
Today, b5media’s network is divided into 13 channels, ranging from business, technology and sports to entertainment, celebrities and science & technology. The company is powered by a team of nine editors and 125 passionate writers, who produce 150 to 200 posts a day.  With more than three million unique visitors a month, the Toronto-based company is among now the world’s largest blogging/ new media networks.  b5media received venture capital financing in late-2006 from JLA  Ventures and Brightspark Venture Partners.

Celebrate the growth of b5media by cruising through a few of the channels in the b5media directory in the right sidebar.

Better yet, contact the b5media advertising department to learn how you can cost effectively reach more than 3 Million readers per month.
