“This is an important investment for us and one we view as a crucial strategic play,” said Complex CEO Rich Antoniello, in a statement. “As we look towards further expansion in digital and linear entertainment, Complex will have access to the extensive expertise, scale and partnerships that only a global media company like Hearst could offer.”
