Demand Media

edit

Demand Media is an online media company operating two strategically-linked businesses: an integrated content and social media platform, and registrar solutions.

Demand Media’s online content studio produces articles and videos at scale, both for outside publishers and its own network of websites including eHow.com and LIVESTRONG.COM. The company also provides social media solutions for its branded partners. In addition, it operates the world’s second largest domain name registrar group.

It has raised $355 million, and is headed by Richard Rosenblatt, the former chairman of Intermix Media, the company that sold MySpace to News Corporation.
