Multi-platform media company Future has announced its intention to acquire TI Media, a renowned magazine and digital media company in UK publishing. This acquisition signals the expansion of Future's portfolio to more than 220 global brands and giving the opportunity to lead some of the magazine world’s most iconic titles.

The acquisition of TI Media honours the ongoing strategy of expanding Future's global reach. It introduces three new verticals to Future’s consumer portfolio: Lifestyle, Women’s Interest and Sport, with popular titles such as Decanter, Wallpaper*, Country Life and Marie Claire UK.

By utilising Future’s SEO and tech expertise, there’s potential to scale TI Media’s brands both digitally and internationally. It also strengthens a number of Future's existing verticals and further diversifies its audience with a large female readership.

We have long admired TI Media, and I am thrilled at the prospect of bringing our exceptional teams together. I truly believe that through our combined passion, determination and expertise that we will be a super-force of specialist media”.
