Publishared Acquires Techcentral

In a statement, Losco and McLeod say the acquisition marks a significant development not only for TechCentral and Publishared but also for ICT publishing in South Africa — and for the local technology sector that TechCentral has served with passion over the past 16 years.

"This comes at a pivotal and exciting moment in TechCentral's growth story," says Losco. Both readership and advertiser demand are at all-time highs — a clear reflection of the trust and credibility the publication has built over the years. We're proud to be building on that momentum and are committed to driving the publication's continued growth."

Losco adds that TechCentral is the "definitive platform for reaching technology decision makers in South Africa."

"This is why we've chosen to invest and integrate the two companies' teams, allowing us to expand our product offering and unlock even greater opportunities for brands targeting this valuable audience," says Losco. 

McLeod echoes this view and says the acquisition of TechCentral is a "major development in the storied life of this publication and sets it up perfectly for its next period of growth and market expansion."

"Michelle and her team, led by Operations Director, Natalie Kock, will bring a new energy to the title, and I look forward to the innovations and growth plans that will flow from the combination of these two successful companies," McLeod adds. "I'm excited about working even more closely with Michelle and her top-class team of advertising sales executives and customer relationship management professionals. We'll be announcing new hires to our editorial team in the coming months, too."

The news of Publishared's acquisition of NewsCentral Media comes as TechCentral continues to notch up record readership. This comes as business decision makers increasingly seek out ICT-related news and analysis they can trust, free of clickbait and sensationalism, says TechCentral

Losco concludes, "The publication's unmatched credibility is the result not only of staying true to our mission of serving our community of business readers with factual and valuable technology journalism, but also of maintaining a strict 'Chinese wall' between editorial and advertising. There will be no change to this policy post-acquisition."
