Digiday

One of the most widely read trade publications in the media and marketing industry, known for insider journalism and professional events

Digiday is a trade media company founded in 2008 by CEO Nick Friese, focused on covering the business of media, marketing, and advertising. Its flagship publication, Digiday.com, delivers news, analysis, research, and opinion to professionals working across digital media, publishing, advertising technology, and brand marketing. The outlet is known for its frank, insider-focused journalism and has built a loyal readership among agency executives, brand marketers, publishers, and ad tech professionals. Digiday operates under the parent company Digiday Media, which also publishes Modern Retail (covering the transformation of the retail industry) and Glossy (focused on the fashion and beauty industries). Together, these brands serve distinct but adjacent professional audiences navigating digital disruption in their respective sectors. Revenue is generated through a combination of subscriptions (Digiday+), advertising and sponsorships, events, and research products. Digiday holds a strong market position as one of the most-read and most-cited trade publications in the media and marketing industry. Its annual events — including the Digiday Publishing Summit, Digiday Media Buying Summit, and others — are well-attended industry gatherings. The company competes with outlets such as Ad Age, Adweek, and Marketing Week for the attention of media and marketing professionals.
