Ascent by Acquisition

Ascend Media’s success is almost inconceivable when you find out that the company is just four years old. In 2006, the company’s total revenue was approximately $120 million, compared with
$25 million in 2003, the year it made its first acquisition. Ascend Media now produces 50 business-to-business magazines and journals, 70+ e-newsletters (a number that continues to grow with advertiser demand) and hosts 10 trade shows and conferences.
